Pec Playhouse Theatre presents Fuddy Meers
by Press Release
Pec Playhouse Theatre, 314 Main Street, Pecatonica, IL presents its 21st season opener, Fuddy Meers, written by the Pulitzer Prize winning American playwright and lyricist, David Lindsay-Abaire. The play is about a woman named Claire, who finds that she has a rare form of amnesia that erases her memory whenever she goes to sleep and has to rediscover her life each day. Surrounding her is a curious assortment of bizarre characters who prove that no communication is successful. One character, an obnoxious, foul-mouthed hand puppet, Hinky-Binky, has no problem speaking openly as the play’s major truth-teller. Fuddy Meers is a comedy/mystery/drama about family, memory and the futility of communication. The play is one harrowing and hilarious turn after another on a roller coaster ride through the day of an amnesiac trying to decipher her fractured life. The point Lindsay-Abaire is trying to make in Fuddy Meers is that people are lost without meaningful communication, and this wacky, yet poignant, play proves that no family dysfunction is insurmountable. This show is not suitable for children.
Director, Laura Wiegert, and her cast have put together a very entertaining evening. Performances are Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m. andSundays at 2 p.m. February 11 through February 27. Cost is $10 at the door, or $8 per show for a season subscription of 4 or 5 shows. Group rates are available. Call 815-239-1210, or toll-free, 877.pec.play.
