The Yeats Game

A Farce of Improbable Darkness

Written by John J. Ronan


Directed by Kathy Richter

“The script is fraught with wordplay and texture, and it pulls the veil off the couples and their lives with just the right pacing and panache.” – Boston Edge

“A wildly entertaining romp about later middle age, the part of life Ronan refers to as the ‘pre-geezer years.’” - Beacon

American Storyboard presents The Yeats Game, a Farce of Improbable Darkness written by John J. Ronan.  Kathy Richter directs a cast of four including Toby Wherry, Susan Stout, Jennifer Silverstein and Lucius Wall. Performances for The Yeats Game will be held at The Producers’ Club, 358 West 44th Street in NYC for twenty-four performances beginning Wednesday, February 29 to Sunday, March 25, 2012.
The Yeats Game is a farce about middle-age choices and their ridiculous consequences.  At a funeral, as two frisky couples contemplate a friend’s fatal, love-nest heart attack, they flash back to their own recent snowed-in weekend at a mountain cabin.  There, a board game designed for age-hating Boomers leads to tangled romance as the old friends explore love, lust, marriage and mischief.  Just as guilt prompts confession, and all things point to reform, maturity and reluctant virtue, the play’s close tells us that virtue is a weak motivator, immaturity has its advantages - and that the corpse is perhaps not so dead.

February 29 - March 25, 2012 (24 Performances)
