A peaceful retirement is turned upside down by two unexpected house guests in the world premiere of Richard Ploetz’s The Country Play at Theater for the New City. Michael Turner is spending the summer that begins his retirement at his family’s country house. Settling in to write the great American novel, he looks forward to spending time with his only child who is leaving for Yale in the Fall. The presence of Michael’s overbearing college roommate and his successful novelist stepmother complicate everyone’s plans, resulting in unexpected consequences.
