Downstairs is a thought-provoking family drama written with Tim and Tyne Daly in mind. This world premiere marks the first time that the two of them have worked together onstage. Theresa Rebeck’s Downstairs follows the story of Eileen (Tyne Daly), whose brother Teddy (Tim Daly) has decided to move home and live in her basement. Eileen’s husband is less than thrilled about this development. And Teddy is more than a little off his game. As the brother and sister struggle to understand their present and their past, questions of betrayal, disappointment, and madness rise and fall.
