Rancho Mirage
by Steven Dietz
Synopsis
THE STORY: RANCHO MIRAGE is a bitingly funny black comedy about what happens when the fictions that hold our lives together are exposed.
In this sharp and surprising sojourn into the psyche of modern-day America—where affluence is perhaps our greatest mirage—three couples, long-time friends, find themselves at a dinner party where everyone finally decides to tell the truth.
RANCHO MIRAGE asks what connects us when our youth, our dreams, and our last bottle of wine are gone.
Press Reviews
"…[an] enlightening comic gem with raw realistic undertones…this rapid-fire comedy is a roller coaster of witty banter…Dietz crafts brilliance into his script…Dietz is a master when it comes to building tension into a scene and molds stunning twists and shocking curveballs into the plot…"
— DC Metro Theater Arts
"…witty…well-crafted…a scathing satire of life in a gated community that is frequently hilarious and occasionally moving…brilliantly structured…"
— Star Tribune (MN)
"Rife with recognizable aches as well as biting laughs…sharp-tongued…RANCHO MIRAGE arrives as fulsome theater not easy sitcom, laughs aplenty, lessons intact."
— The Denver Post
