Closing Times by Derek Murphy (PlayWorks reading series / Stages Festival)

The years haven’t been kind to Eddie Rappini, and Eddie Rappini hasn’t been kind to the years, now on borrowed time, the past has come to collect. Molly, a young lost soul from out of nowhere, is the key to Eddie’s salvation, but Molly seems bent on his destruction as she picks apart the ashes of his life.

Running Time: 70 minutes

Hudson Theatre Works boasts a growing and adventurous community genuinely hungry for challenging performance. We honor and advance that appetite by choosing material that is aesthetically diverse and rooted in authenticity. From highly theatrical world premieres to distilled re-imaginings of modern classics, our plays inspire reflection, spark discussion, and get the blood pumping. Our low-price tickets prices make it possible for everyone to experience first rate live performance on a regular basis. Our PlayWorks readings of new plays engages both the playwright and the audience in the creation of a new work and our in house group, The Forge, is a creative playground for writers, actors and directors to develop fresh work and perfect their craft. Our children’s theatre has sold out audiences asking for more. There is nothing more important to the long-term vitality of American theatre as an art form than the nurturing of new voices. We are proud that the critics refer to us as “A Theatre On The Edge!”
