Breaking the Code

Starring Gul Saeed, Shelly Best, Heather T. Wilson, Shari Howard, Philip Moreno, Claire Waterhouse, Marlene Matosiam, Ashley Jones and,

Directed by Jordana Lawrence

Christy Pastence is a somewhat lonely almost 50 year old widow playwright living in the Upper West, N.Y.C. She meets a young Pakistani American named Moutaz on a park bench in Central Park. They strike up a conversation and agree to meet there again. Their friendship leads to romance. Around this time, her younger sister lands on her doorstep in need of comfort and a place to live. “Rana,” a pessimist and hypochondriac, is burdened and obsessed by a nagging question: did her husband die by accident or on purpose when he chose to lie down on train tracks as a part of a recent war protest?  Moutaz’s mother and Christy’s 28 year old daughter bring their own set of life’s experiences to the scenario making for a lively, humorous  journey by all five characters toward acceptance. Each character in this story has a code by which they are living but are simultaneously having a hard time breaking through in order to move forward.  A Leonard Cohen poem, “I Can't Break the Code.” inspired the premise of the play.
