The Violet Hour

by Richard Greenberg

It’s April 1st, 1919, and young publisher John Pace Seavering is torn between publishing his best friend’s sprawling novel or his mistress’ memoir for his first venture in the publishing world. When a mysterious printing machine arrives outside his office, events take an unexpected and uproarious turn in this deeply moving and laugh-out-loud funny exploration of friendship and fate.

“Richard Greenberg’s luminous, mysterious, emotionally churning tragicomedy, The Violet Hour, is a wondrous piece of work… This is the kind of bewitching play that makes theater a world unto itself.”
