Such Small Hands
Direction by: Matthew McCray
Music Director: Lex Leigh
Artistic Director: Oánh Nguyễn
Casting Director: Shinshin Yuder Tsai
Paul and Marie wake in the morning, Marie makes coffee, black, Paul asks for sugar, Marie says the sugar is out of reach and they drink it black, Paul questions “do we drink it black because the sugar is out of reach or because we like it that way?” And so begins the daily routines of this long-married couple, filled with small quibbles, but an extraordinary amount of love, laughter, and memories. This hilarious and moving World Premiere play about love, aging, selfishness, and selflessness from Chance Theater’s 2011 Resident Playwright Adam Szymkowicz, is sure to resonate with audiences with its laughter and heart.

Marie:
Female, 70 – 80, Any Race/Ethnicity. Driven, organized, and unwavering, Marie is starting to become emotionally erratic, as the ridiculousness of aging has her fluctuating between sadness and hilarity. She must laugh sometimes to keep from breaking as she holds her sick husband—and herself—together by a loose thread.
The Role of Paul has already been cast.
