Room by the Sea
A new play by
Directed by yours truly
Featuring:
Cole Massey
A boy with a dream. A king with a secret. An island, shaped by grief and isolation.
Every day, the boy in the wheelchair sits by the window and dreams of flight, while his father – an architect – secures their tenuous place through service to the royal family. When the island’s king offers riches in exchange for a wonder – a structure larger on the inside than out – the architect begins to dream of more than just survival. But who is this impossible creation for? And what if his son has plans of his own?
By turns thrilling, lyrical, haunting, and intimate, John Guerra’s Room By The Sea is a new myth about invention & inheritance, about the harms we do in the name of love, and the bravery it takes to imagine a new world.
