A One-Act Play by David-Matthew Barnes
Hayden and Persephone Caulwell have been married for twenty-two years. Constantly referred to as “the perfect couple,” they have found themselves hiding the discord in their marriage from their family and friends. After a dinner party, they engage in a volatile confrontation and years of affairs, secrets, and emotions begin to surface. Realizing their marriage has ended, husband and wife lash out at each other until the dining room – and their lives – are left in shards. This one-act play was inspired equally by the short story 'Bliss' by Katherine Mansfield and the Greek myth of Persephone. The script features roles for 1 womand and 1 man. Hour Glass contains adult language and subject matter.
