Blue Kettle
by Caryl Churchill
Highlights
Synopsis
A con artist claims to be the long lost son of elderly women who gave up an infant for adoption.
As fears and anxieties emerge, blue and kettle replace logical words in conversations until the characters simply utter 'bu' and 'ke'.
Press Reviews
"Intriguing.... Though it feels like the Marx Brothers had a hand in it, Heart's Desire really owes more to the bleak landscape of Beckett."
— NY Daily News
"Fresh and surprising .... The funniest show in town."
— NY Post
"Achingly, aggressively funny.... Blue Heart plants seeds that keep germinating in your mind long after the plays are over."
— The New York Times
