The Poison Tree

The world premiere of Robert Glaudini’s newest work THE POISON TREE is a fascinating play of poetry and seduction that echoes real events in Southern California. Robert Egan directs this stylized piece that is both funny and disturbing, blending comedy and social farce. Rockie Rogers takes refuge in the shadowy world of dreams and lies that protects her from the harsh realities of the real world in which her son died of a drug overdose. The play simmers as Rogers, her husband (a Superior Court Judge) and her confidante poet/teacher, St. Gertrude are pulled along in the sudden impulses of life.
