Belton High School Theatre Department is proud to present a fascinating and entertaining new play by Lee Thuna titled FUGUE. This play will cast a dreamy, mysterious spell over the audience.
A woman is found wandering in Chicago, her feet blistered and bloodied. Doctors at the hospital where she is taken immediately recognize this as a symptom of the "fugue" state of amnesia, where the victim is literally running away from an intolerable memory. A young psychiatrist is assigned to her case. Clinic's rules allow him twenty-one days ("three lousy weeks") to work with her. If there is no improvement, she will be sent to a long term care facility. He is running away from his own demons - a mistake he made with a patient early in his practice which had a devastating effect on his life. Because the woman has no past and no future, she is in remarkably good spirits, chipper and carefree except when the young doctor starts to jog her memory. The closer he gets to piecing together the puzzle of her life and the terrible thing that made her want to forget everything, the stronger is her urge to run. But his fear is that if she remembers -- will he be repeating the mistake
he made? To muddle the waters, he is falling in love with his patient. This play is about loss. This story has unexpected twists and turns and the ending will leave you wanting more.
The cast of Fugue features: Jessica Dolan as Mary; James Keller as Danny; Matt Hollingsworth as Dr. Oleander; Leasa Lockard as Mom; Will Woods as Noel; Sarah McMillen as Kru; Caylee Gaston as Zelda; and Jaycee Wright as Tammy.
Fugue will proudly be performed on February 7th-8th at 7:00 pm, February 9th at 2:00 pm, and February 10th at 7pm in the Belton High School Forum Theatre. Tickets are $5 for students and $7 for adults.
