Rodney's Wife

A study in dissolution by a leading American playwright who has written prolifically, and with fine detail, on the perplexities of everyday living.

A fading American actor in Rome for the filming of a 1960s spaghetti Western gathers with family and friends at a rented villa. Over the course of one booze-soaked summer night, jealousies and secrets are revealed that crumble the foundations of their relationships.

Inspired by Euripides, this is a tragedy of exiles who continue to need each other even as they push one another away.
