Tonight we had a 4 hour session, reading scenes between Mar (Geraldine Dulex) and Tedd (Chris Kaufman).
We had a great time with it, discovering new layers and meaning.
At the core of this play, there is a beautiful story about a man and a woman. It's a story of pure, unconditional love, with no sex but plenty of passion. The way I feel, exactly, about these amazing actors.
Tomorrow Geraldine, who has arrived to Chicago from New York, will face her husband Thomas (Chris Popio). Geraldine and Popio played wife and husband in
Smartphones last summer. That was a vicious play...
Tables and Beds is kinder and therefore, more difficult to put together.
The biggest challenge for all of us is how to balance the gravity and the grace, two opposing forces in this play, a show that seems at times, a very serious comedy, and at a times a very silly drama.
More to come...

Popio, Dulex, and Kaufman read from "Tables and Beds" at Instituto Cervantes.
