Trailer: Edward Albee's "A Delicate Balance", Extended Thru Oct. 16th at Aurora Theatre Company

Directed by Tom Ross

NOW EXTENDED THRU OCT 16Th!

Tobias and Agnes are a long-married couple whose home provides a refuge to their friends and family, but the "delicate balance" of their uneasy existence is toppling. Agnes' alcoholic sister, Claire, has already set up camp when their adult daughter comes home after her fourth failed marriage and lifelong friends Harry and Edna arrive on their doorstep, frightened and seeking sanctuary from an unnamed terror, causing the many well-mannered and well-masked feelings to finally erupt. Winner of the 1967 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and called "glorious...profoundly touching" by The New York Times, A DELICATE BALANCE is a sharp, witty examination of the limits of our responsibility to family and friends, the difficulty of holding everything together, and how easily it all can fall apart.

HIGHEST RATING! "['A Delicate Balance'], Albee's first Pulitzer Prize winner (1967), seems to gain new resonance with each decade. The cast, handled by [director Tom] Ross like a chess master, keeps finding deeper textures in each of its three acts."
- Robert Hurwitt, SF Chronicle
