This Monday, July 7, begins the Monday Night Specials at the Martha’s Vineyard Playhouse with Edward L. Beck’s Sweetened Water on the Patricia Neal Stage. Rev. Beck is a Catholic priest, author and retreat leader who often contributes to news outlets.
The Vineyard is the setting for his play about a recent widow dealing with her sorrow and an uncertain road ahead. Enter Richard, a priest who has just lost his mother, and a story of grief, faith and intimacy unfolds.
The Monday readings highlight new works for one performance only. All readings begin at 7:30 p.m. and usually include a question-and-answer session afterward.
Tickets are $25 and benefit the playhouse. For more information, call 508-687-2452 or visit mvplayhouse.org.
