The Melville Boys
July 9 – July 25
Norm Foster’s comedy hit, The Melville Boys, was first produced at The Red Barn in 1992. This new production captures the essence of Foster’s writing: it is funny yet profoundly emotional.
The Story…
Brothers Owen and Lee Melville arrive at their aunt’s cottage for a weekend of fishing and beer, but their plans are thrown out of whack by the arrival of two sisters. The sisters become catalysts for a humorous and unsentimental look at four lived in transition.
Our Cast…
The Red Barn’s production of Norm Foster’s The Melville Boys will feature the talents of four young and very gifted performers: Jason Jazwary as “Lee”, Derek Moran as “Owen”, Robin Schisler as “Mary” and Carolyne Maraghi as “Loretta”. Jason Jazwary will be familiar to Red Barn audiences for his hilarious and moving portrayal of “Emmett” in the Red Barn’s much-praised production of The Dishwashers.
