About
the Play:
Lunacy: A Bathroom Trilogy is a collection of three one-act
plays by Richard Turtle. These
short plays – a tragedy sandwiched between two comedies – are set
in an apartment bathroom on the full moon. Revealed are the
hilarious, tragic and touching secrets, dreams and realities of
tenants whose lives change when they are unable to open an
unpredictable bathroom door.
In The Lunatic from
Number Seven manic self-discovery ensues when a failing artist is
locked in the bathroom while his girlfriend is away. He's the man
with problems to solve, feelings to process and lots to say. (First
staged in 1997 at The Guild Hall in Peterborough, Ontario; Cast: 1
male)
Sing a Pretty Song is the chilling tale of an abused woman
who confronts her demons and tires to make sense of her life. (First
performed in 1998 at The Pinnacle Playhouse in Belleville, Ontario;
Cast: 1 female)
In Search and Rescue a young man finds himself tongue tied
when the plumber he called turns out to be the woman of his dreams.
If only he could get the door open and his foot out of his mouth.
(First staged in 1998 at The Pinnacle Playhouse in Belleville,
Ontario; Cast: 1 female, 1 male)
Lunacy: A Bathroom Trilogy was first staged in 1999 by
Trenton Community Players at The Guild Hall in Peterborough, Ontario
during the Eastern Ontario Drama League Spring Play Festival, where
it won the Kingston Trophy for Best Canadian Play. Since then it has
been performed in regional
repertory, high school, college, and community theatre productions in
Canada and throughout the United States.
Cast: 2 female, 2 male
