Page 121 Productions, New York's boldest theatre dedicated to emerging artists, begins 2010 with a special workshop production of Stephen Kaliski's HIS MINUTE HAND, a timely and riveting tragedy about the decay of friendship and family within a repressive society.
Officers Rip Lamplight and Charles Gawking play cards as they await the birth of Charles’ first son. Rip’s company seems genial, but the clock on their friendship is ticking: after the birth, Rip must exterminate Charles for permitting his wife to venture outside, a breach of their country’s new and inexplicable wartime law. At the same time, Rip’s own restive wife Hilda faces a complete meltdown that only her husband can help her to avoid. Tempted with breaking the same law as Charles, Rip finds himself helplessly stuck between his obligations to his family and his obligations to his country. At what point does treason become the only healthy option?
With echoes of 1984 and the menace of Harold Pinter, HIS MINUTE HAND captures the quandary of allegiance within a society that forces its cross-bearers to choose between loved ones and far-fetched principles.
