Northlight Theatre Stages 'A Life'

'A Life' is directed by BJ Jones and features John Mahoney. The play will run from MARCH 18, 2010 to APRIL 25, 2010.

“A story as fragile as crystal, but with an inner strength that…envelops the audience.” – New York Times

John Mahoney stars in this evocative play about the evolution of friendships in a small Irish town. As Desmond Drumm nears retirement, his memories come to life, reminding him of the triumphs and tragedies of his youth and prompting him to mend relationships with a childhood friend and the love interest that had charmed them both.

But as scenes from the past shed light on the misunderstandings of today, Desmond must realize that his lifelong ability to use his great intellect and acerbic wit as a means of self-defense has come at a cost. -- www.northlight.org
