The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura and an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art.” – Dramatists Play Service. For mature audiences only.

Set in the idyllic village of Merton-cum-Middlewick in 1940s England, the village inhabitants are preparing themselves for the imminent threat of Nazi invasion. Resident nosy-parker and spinster, Miss Skillon, becomes convinced that her beloved vicar’s actress wife is having an affair and attempts to expose her.

WALTER CRONKITE IS DEAD Runs May 16-19

OXACT_Walter Cronkite is DeadWALTER CRONKITE IS DEAD
Presented by Oxford Area Community Theatre
May 16-19
Oxford

Directed by Carly McFadden

WALTER CRONKITE IS DEAD centers on two women, who appear to have nothing in common and are stuck in a waiting area at Reagan National Airport while a thunderstorm has shut down airports along the East Coast. Patty is a chatty southerner—a blue-collar woman from a red state—who is almost physically unable to tolerate silence. Margaret is a Washingtonian, reserved, educated, liberal and not interested in sharing her thoughts, or her table, with Patty. Forced together for a long night in a public place, the two strangers have no choice but to share a bottle of wine and begin to talk…and to listen. Their conversation is funny, difficult, deeply revealing and astonishingly frank. Patty and Margaret share details of their lives that lead them to a place of kinship neither of them could have imagined. Yes, Walter Cronkite is dead, but his wisdom and compassion lives on in this insightful comedy about what might be possible if people from opposite sides of the political aisle would stop shouting and take even one night to listen.
