“Running”
By Arlene Hutton
It’s the weekend of the New York City Marathon, and Stephen, preparing for his first race, needs a good night’s sleep. Emily, his wife’s old roommate, shows up unexpectedly in the wee hours of the morning. In crisis and unable to find a hotel room, Emily is returning to the apartment she once lived in and where, years ago, she and Stephen may or may not have met. Seeing her old home brings back memories and Stephen, dealing with his own troubles with marriage and work, is jarred from his complacency and forced to face his failures.
“Accomplished playwright Arlene Hutton has written a smart, funny script with a strong narrative
and complete studies of two identifiable characters…a very real, human drama.” —NYTheatre.com
