Highlights
Synopsis
Painter Abigail’s model is a naked man painted green, and her architect husband Ronald’s new intern bears a striking resemblance, though he’s clothed.
Their new acquaintance, Genice, is a stone sculptor of gargoyles whose musician fiancé appears in the same hue.
Who the Green Man is to each of them is a mystery only they can help each other unravel.
A play about love, loss and other things made of stone.
Featuring two original songs by the author, sung by the Green Man.
Part of the collection, The Imaginary Plays by Jim Knable.
Press Reviews
"Knable has landed somewhere on the map close to Christopher Durang & John Patrick Shanley."
— NY Theatre Wire.com
"You will feel warmed by the demented cheer of this story of a wife whose strange and entrancing dream helps her cope after her husband leaves … SPAIN bears great similarities to Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz in its rendering of a bizarre dreamscape where truth lies hidden in the madness … At its cockamamie heart, the play is a sweet story about an angry, cast-adrift woman who finds in dreams strength and resources she didn’t know she had … If you are looking for a bit of warm-weather diversion, SPAIN is the place to be."
— Jayne M. Blanchard, The Washington Times
