Season 1999

A Perfect Ganesh
By Terrence McNally

A Perfect Ganesh - Terrence McNallyThe pilgrimage tradition is turned on its head when two middle-aged lady friends throw themselves into a rousing tour of India, each one with her own secret dreams of what the fabled land of intoxicating opposites will do for the suffering she hides within. The elephant-god Ganesha is the spiritual center around which the play spins itself, drawing upon the tragic and the comic, until a breathtaking release arrives for both women at his hands.

Played May 13-29, 1999
