Lyric Poetry & Drama

Two one-act plays by Joyce Carol Oates. The Key is a hilariously perverse encounter between a vacationing suburban housewife, recently separated from her husband, and a prosperous businessman. Tone Clusters is a chilling tragicomedy that takes the form of a surreal interview between a middle-aged, middle-class American couple and the media.

Two L.A. Theatre Works full cast performances featuring:

The Key Hector Elizondo as Edwin Don Reed as Waiter JoBeth Williams as Melissa

Tone Clusters Edward Asner as Frank Gulick Hector Elizondo as The Voice Joyce Van Patten as Emily Gulick

Directed by Gordon Hunt. Recorded before a live audience at the Guest Quarters Suite Hotel, Santa Monica in January of 1991.
