The lives of two couples are thrown into upheaval when a brushfire threatens their upscale Southern California homes. They must confront what’s really important to them — Material items? Careers? Relationships? SMOKE GETS IN YOUR HOUSE treats the natural disaster seriously while still finding enough absurdity to make this play a genuine dark comedy.
AL HEARN — 50s, a budding curmudgeon
BETH HEARN — 50s, bright, level-headed
ROGER KING — 50s, proactive to a fault
ERIKA KING — 50s, funny, a tad cynical
+ Assorted VO from newscasters, which can be pre-recorded
Production Note:
Trust the material. Play the emotions, not the comedy. The comedy will be there.
