{"product_id":"remote-asylum-mart-crowley-9780573600777","title":"Remote Asylum","description":"DramaCharacters: 5 males, 3 females In the heat of a blazing summer, three physically and spiritually exhausted Americans: Tom, a famous tennis pro; Dinah, his beautiful, cosmopolitan, not-yet divorced lover; and their mutual pal, Michael, a gay writer (first introduced in \u003cem\u003eThe Boys in the Band\u003c\/em\u003e), try to \"get away from it all\" by visiting Dinah's enormously wealthy retired friends - the older, imperious Irene and her terminally ill husband, Ray - at their fabulous cliff-side villa on an island in the Mediterranean. But it turns out to be far from the perfect, restorative holiday they were so desperately seeking. This odyssey has not brought them or their hosts anywhere near the paradise they were seeking, but rather to an inferno where a painful, purgatorial breakthrough occurs, releasing them all and providing true escape from this distant and deceptively idyllic haven.\u003cem\u003eRemote Asylum\u003c\/em\u003e is a play which observes the classical unities of time, place and action, which remorselessly exposes a group of bruised souls - wanderers all, and forces them to deal with their fears of loneliness and mortality, to open past emotional wounds not yet healed. The event is one of forceful, dynamic transfiguration; the conversation is intelligent and adult, both witty and grave, best described as a kind of orchestrated tone poem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mart Crowley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0573600775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780573600777\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Concord Theatricals\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 78\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.19lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.16d","brand":"Mart Crowley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46135974789375,"sku":"9780573600777","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_198f244f-1b09-4b61-b049-8f3c6fb2c65a.jpg?v=1726415320","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/remote-asylum-mart-crowley-9780573600777","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
