THE DAY ROOM

by Don Delillo

Event Detail
Date: Saturday, April 12th
Time: 7:30 pm
Description:

Nothing is quite what it seems in THE DAY ROOM, set in a hospital where the psychiatric wing spectacularly fails to contain its inmates. The collection of sordid patients is regularly rounded up from their incursions into the ordinary ward where Wyatt (sophomore, Logan Pietz) is awaiting tests and his roommate Budge (sophomore, Christian Stokes) yearns for good conversation. Things start to become disturbing when the doctor, Bazelon (freshman, Gary Henderson), and nurses Walker (sophomore, Sarah Carlson) and Baker (senior, Courtney Pearson) turn out to be pretend-professionals. Gradually the "real" world seems to be turning into a huge psychiatric ward itself. By the second act THE DAY ROOM takes us to a motel that might not actually be a motel where we meet actors who might not actually be actors who are going to perform a play that might not actually be a play for madmen who might not actually be mad.
