Sin at Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex
Bohemian Archaeology presents Sin, a dark comedy by Wendy McLeod, opening at the Abingdon Theatre Arts Complex on 24 Jul 2007, following previews from 18 Jul and running through to 29 Jul 2007.
Sin: Set in San Francisco on the eve of the 1989 earthquake. 'Avery Bly On High,' a helicopter-flying traffic reporter who looks down on the world in more ways than one. Considering herself above life's tawdry messiness, she's more than a little judgmental about others' imperfections.
Unfortunately Avery's life is filled with imperfect people, each of whom represents one of the Seven Deadly Sins: her soon-to-be ex-husband is a slothful alcoholic, her roommate is a glutton who's getting fatter by the day, her closest co-worker is consumed with envy, etc. It takes Avery's gay brother, dying from AIDS in a hospital, to make her see that Pride is the deadliest of sins. And it takes an Act of God and a chain of tragedies to finally bring Avery down from the heights once and for all.
Directed by Jordana Kritzer, Sin features Carter Roy, Amy Broder, Douglas Scott Sorenson, Henry Caplan, Collin Mackenzie Smith, Christopher Armond, Kelly Miller and Megan Hill.
