A Delicate Balance at the Southampton Cultural Center

Come see this great show.

Sarah, Patch Mayor
A Delicate Balance, by Edward Albee premiered in 1966, and won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1967. The play and it’s revivals went on to win a Drama Desk Award and three Tony Awards. In A Delicate Balance, Agnes and Tobias, a wealthy middle-aged couple, and Agnes’s witty live-in alcoholic sister have their complacency shattered when longtime friends Harry and Edna appear at their doorstep, claiming an encroaching, nameless “fear” has forced them from their own home. They are soon followed by Agnes and Tobias’s bitter 36-year old daughter Julia who returns home following the collapse of her fourth marriage. These events bring a firestorm of doubt, recrimination and ultimately solace, upsetting the “delicate balance” of Agnes and Tobias’s household.

Cast: Bonnie Grice, John Leonard, Joanna Mincarelli, Tamara Salkin, Kristin Whiting, Scott Wilson. Directed by Joan Lyons
