A Tale Of Life, Love and Loss Concludes a Brian Friel Festival at Readers Theatre Rep

On March 12th and 13th, Readers Theatre Repertory told the second of two Brian Friel tales, Lovers: Winners The first, Lovers: Losers, was produced November of 2003.

Director Bob Martin said Winners was classic Friel in its lyric language and cultural influence, while still being about real humans wrestling with real problems. “These Irish youth are formed by their history, circumstance, religion, region, politics and the present moment,” he said, “and yet, they still speak to us all in a highly personal way.”

Cast members included Caren Graham, Curtis Hanson, Matthew Martin and Casey McDermott.
