The Necklace at the Ohio Theater

The Talking Band will present The Necklace, a serial-mystery in eight episodes written by Lisa D'Amour, Ellen Maddow, Lizzie Olesker, and Paul Zimet, at the Ohio Theater from the 6 - 28 May 2006

The Necklace: A drama set in a grand, decaying house on the edge of a moor. It is a house of endless rooms and hidden passageways: of basements, attics, and secret stairways. A house that is antiquated but equipped with up-to the minute technology � wireless modems on moss covered desks.

In this house of multiple realities - often hidden from one another - live a group of people whose identities and relationships unfold in surprising ways in each new episode. The house is a hub, a crossroads, and a battleground in a struggle for survival between generations; between old ways of doing business and the new global economics.

Each episode will be a self-contained theater piece that can be appreciated by itself but each will also end in a cliff-hanger.

Two episodes are presented as a double bill at each performance.

PART I- The House of the House
Episdoe 1. House Out of Sync & Episode 2. Shadow Passports (Double bill)
Episode 3. Inside Outsource & Episode 4. Amber Bead(Double bill)

PART II �The House of the Mind
