The story chronicles two strangers, a man and a woman,
who board a train at 4:30 a.m. They’re alone in the car, each is
married, and both are doing the New York Times crossword. She’s
an organized, sensible, psychologist. He’s a free spirited, unemployed
ad exec. She is a crossword pro, he always quits.
When he tosses his puzzle away, she snaps, “Crosswords are metaphors
for life, those who finish, succeed those who don’t, fail.”
Now he vows to finish. Why? He’s a competitor and she happens to
be lovely.
Their trip is filled with unpredictable but believable surprises, even
a passionate kissing embrace or two. At the end of the ride, each of
them has been changed for the better.
“A rich theatrical piece... A fascinating 80 minutes in which light
banter turns to raw emotion... creates a tone that perfectly underscores
both the comic and dramatic elements of this surprisingly memorable
play, ‘2 Across’ is a must see play of the year,” wrote
the Los Angeles Weekly.
Performances of “2 Across” are scheduled for Feb. 7-9 and
Feb. 15-16 at 8 p.m. and at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 10 and Feb. 17. Tickets for
all performances can be reserved by calling (502) 588-1557. Adult tickets
are $15; senior citizen and student tickets are $12, cash or check only.
For each play presented at Little Colonel, opening night is a dinner
theatre performance; the price of the dinner is an additional $18. The
theatre opens at 6:45 p.m. on opening night for the Dinner Theatre.
