Dark comedy ‘Any Given Monday’ hits Ghostlight stage
Posted
Themes of morality drive two-act play
A dark comedy will take the stage for Ghostlight Theatre’s first production of 2018.
"Any Given Monday," from playwright Bruce Graham, is a four-character, two-act play directed by Ghostlight’s Matt McAuley.
Lenny is a great guy: a good teacher, an excellent father and a loving husband. So when his wife leaves him for a smooth-talking lothario who builds Walmarts, his life is shattered. While Lenny consoles himself with pizza and Monday Night Football, his best friend Mick takes matters into his own hands. Now Lenny must decide what he will stand up for and who he will stand up to. How far is too far to get back to happily-ever-after?
"I am a huge fan of dark comedies," McAuley stated. "It can be a lot of fun to shine a humorous light on serious or taboo subjects. They challenge our own attitudes and beliefs, and make us think about how we would react if we were thrust into the moral dilemmas that the characters find themselves in. When done right they are jarring, shocking, and laugh out loud funny. This is the first dark comedy that we have presented on the Ghostlight stage, and I think the audience is in for a fun, wild ride."
The show runs at Ghostlight Theatre, 13541 W. Camino Del Sol, Sun City West, Jan. 11-21, with 7 p.m. performances on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Matinee performances at 2 p.m. are featured on Saturdays and Sundays.
The show contains strong adult language.
