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
Episode 5. Crawl Space & Episode 6. Insomnia on the Moor (Double bill)
Episode 7. Sticky Fingers & Episode 8. Bone Room (Double bill)

The Necklace's cast, directed by Anne Kauffman and Melissa Kievman, features David Brooks, Andy Paris, Gibson Frazier, Ian Holloway, Suli Holum, Jodi Lin, Ellen Maddow, Katie Pearl, Tina Shepard and Paul Zimet..

The Necklace has set design by Anna Kiraly, costumes by Olivera Gajic and lighting by Mark Barton.
