A Coming-Of-Middle-Age Comedy-Drama
Two Unlikely Companions. Trapped in a Basement. Catastrophe or Epiphany?
A coming-of-middle-age comedy-drama, Spanish Steps traps Barry and Maureen in close quarters with nowhere to hide from each other — or themselves. As tempers flare and buttons are pushed, they become mirrors to one another’s blind spots in a sharp satire about the roles we play in society. Funny, uncomfortable, and unexpectedly moving, this award-winning play balances biting humour with genuine heart. Between the laughter you may find you shed a tear in hope of a real human connection.
