Playhouse

From the prize-winning fiction writer Richard Bausch (A master of the novel as well as the story . . . Effortlessly engaging Sven Birkerts, The New York Times), a sharp, affecting, masterly new novel about a close-knit theater community in Memphis and one turbulent, transformative production of King Lear.

As renovations begin at the Shakespeare Theater of Memphis, life for the core members of the company seems to be falling into disarray. Their trusted director has just retired, and theater manager Thaddeus Deerforthstaring down forty and sensing a rift growing slowly between himself and his wife, Ginadreads the arrival of an imperious, inscrutable visiting director. Claudette, struggling to make ends meet as an actor and destabilized by family troubles, is getting frequent calls from her ex-boyfriendand also the narcissistic, lecherous television actor who has been recruited to play King Lear in their fall production.
 
Also invited to the cast is Malcolm Ruark, a disgraced TV anchor muddling through the fallout of a scandal involving his underaged nieceand suddenly in an even more precarious situation when the same niece, now 18, is cast to play Cordelia. As tensions onstage and off build toward a breaking point, the bonds among the intimately drawn characters are put to extraordinary testsand the fate of the theater itself may even be on the line.
 
Deftly weaving together the points of view of Thaddeus, Claudette, and Malcolm, and utterly original in its incorporation of Shakespeares timeless drama, Playhouse is an unforgettable story of men and women, human frailty, art, and redemptiona work of inimitable imaginative prowess by one of our most renowned storytellers.
