“Double Bind,” a world premiere play by Blake Abramovitz…
Set in present day Los Angeles, “Double Bind” is a raw and poetic two-act drama about two friends, Sam and Frank, who once traveled the world together having wild adventures.
As the play begins, Sam (Clark Freeman), an intellectual and a poet at heart, has settled down with a beautiful, serious-minded woman, Laura (Ceri Bethan), and a real job. But Frank (Blake Shields), a charismatic yet wounded soul, desperately misses the only true friend he ever had. And so, in a misguided effort to get him back, he sets about trying to upend Sam and Laura’s life.
This is a play about the agonizing tension within many of us between freedom, madness and adventure on the one hand, and home, intimacy and family on the other. And just as importantly, it’s about the ways in which early abandonment and neglect continue to restrict our capacity to love as adults.
