I Can't Remember Anything
By ARTHUR MILLER
Directed by MARGARET MILLER VAUGHAN
What do some people do when they get old and lose all but one friend to death and illness -- how do they "hang on?" What is it about memory that is vital to their lives?
The goal of Miller as playwright is to use such questions to reach a universal person he calls "anybody."
How do we (or should we) distinguish between real love and real friendship?
And how is it that true friends can lend to each other profound humor and serious help at the same time? What is human resilience?
All of these questions are raised in Arthur Miller's one-hour one-act play, "I Can't Remember Anything," with Actress Inez Sewart and actor Chris Christoferson, members of the Baraboo Theatre Playreaders.
The production is at 8 PM on September 28, in the Village Booksmith on the square in Baraboo. At 9 PM all assembled will have a discussion over Miller's quizzical characters and rich themes, from this play written in l985 when he turned 70.
