Waiting is the Hardest Part

by David Seale

August 21 & 22 at 7:00pm

David Seale’s dramatic works explore complicated relationships, questions of identity, and the ways we confront the past, presented for the first time ever!

In Waiting for Gordo, estranged brothers Anthony and Peter meet at a diner as they await the father who abandoned them decades ago. As old wounds resurface, the brothers confront generational trauma, independence, and the fear of becoming the very person they have spent their lives trying to escape.

In The Stranded Man, Preston Millsaps finds himself alone on a desert island after a boating accident. As he documents his struggle to survive, his anger toward the coworker responsible gradually gives way to a deeper appreciation for life and its simple virtues.

Set in two very different worlds, these powerful plays bring their characters into confined spaces where there is nowhere to hide—and no choice but to confront themselves.

Starring David Seale, Tim Seale, and many of Birmingham’s favorite theatre performers, this is one night of theatre you won’t soon forget!
