The Water’s Edge
by Theresa Rebeck
Deep in the Massachusetts woods, a lakeside mansion slides slowly into disrepair, all change halted after a terrible tragedy many years before. Rich and successful, Richard returns to reclaim it, model girlfriend in tow. But his family still live there, and as he tries to insinuate himself back into their lives, the reason for his departure emerges and seething bitterness and anger boil into shocking action. .

Critical Reception
“…In a bold surgical endeavor that recalls the experiments of the mad Dr. Frankenstein, Theresa Rebeck has tried to transplant the big, blood-gorged heart of a Greek tragedy into the slender body of a modest American comic drama. The resulting self-sabotaging hybrid is called “The Water’s Edge,” and it is quietly running amok in a stylishly acted production starring Kate Burton and Tony Goldwyn that opened last night at the Second Stage Theater.. —NY Times 06/15/2006
