Later Life
By A. R. Gurney Three Penny Theatre Austin has lived his entire life with one article of faith, he’s convinced that something terrible is bound to happen to him. One night, at a party, overlooking Boston harbor, he has the pleasure of rekindling a romance begun almost thirty years ago with Ruth. Comically, and sometimes painfully, Ruth and Austin rediscover each other and themselves while a bevy of free-spirited other party guests remind them of the infinite possibilities that life holds, should one only choose to pursue them. “Later Life” at the faith we place in our self-fulfilling prophecies and what happens when we’re given the opportunity not to make them come true. .
