On behalf of Providence Players of Fairfax, Director Maria Watson is pleased to announce the cast of our next Providence Pop-Up production: Bobby Gould in Hell, which runs September 5-14.
By David Mamet
Directed by Maria Watson
This is Bobby Gould’s day of reckoning. In Mamet’s dark comedy, the conniving movie mogul from Speed the Plow awakens in a strange room – the waiting room of Hell. A loquacious interrogator in fishing waders enters. The interrogator castigates Bobby for a litany of past sins, but Bobby argues that he’s not such a “bad guy.” His earthbound girlfriend appears and gets carried away in her anger at Bobby’s behavior. In the end, Bobby is given a chance to save his soul, but what will he do with the opportunity?
This play contains strong language and adult content.
