Characters: 2 male, 2 female Interior Adam Bock's meticulously
crafted A Small Fire follows John and Emily Bridges, a long-married
couple whose happy, middle-class lives are upended when Emily falls
victim to a mysterious disease. As her senses are slowly stripped
away - smell, taste, sight - Emily resolves to remain engaged with
her community, relying on John to help her run her company and
experience her daughter Jenny's wedding. But her stoic outlook
reaches a breaking point when the disease steals her hearing,
leaving her with nothing but touch to communicate with the world.
Suddenly, she is completely dependent on the husband whose endless
devotions she had always taken for granted. "The play is...raucous,
funny and unexpectedly touching, as we are made intimate witnesses
to a frank demonstration of how much of life, of love and of
happiness remain within reach even when so much appears to be
lost." -The New York Times "A Small Fire is a small play, tightly
focused and written close to the vest, but its small virtues are
numerous and meaningful; in retrospect, they begin to loom very
large" - Village Voice
