PORT LUDLOW — “An American Daughter,” a play by Wendy Wasserstein, will be performed by the Ludlow Village Players tonight, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
The performances will be at 7 p.m. at the Bay Club, 120 Spinnaker Place.
Tickets are available for $15 at the Bay Club and online at www.brownpapertickets.com.
The entirety of the play, set in 1997, takes place in a living room in Georgetown, Washington, D.C.
It is a dull time in D.C., said Vallery Durling, Ludlow Village Players artistic director.
“No one is up for election, and Washington gossip is at low ebb,” Durling said.
It is at this time that Dr. Lyssa Dent Hughes, the daughter of a senator, is nominated to be the surgeon general of the United States and appears to be a “shoo-in,” Durling said.
However, questions arise and her confirmation is in doubt.
Her friend, Judith B. Kaufman, an African-American Jewish physician, lends support.
The Village Players are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit arts association dedicated to providing live theater for the local community.
