Earth and Sky

Tonight, a 2003 performance of Earth And Sky by playwright Douglas Post is featured on L.A. Theatre Works, featuring an all-star cast led by Annette Bening and Ed Begley, Jr.  Full cast includes Ana-Alicia, Jana Hupp, John Mahoney, Steven Weber, Stephen Markle, Joseph Mascolo, and George Murdock.

About the play:

Head in the clouds, Sara McKeon lives in the rarefied world of library work and poetry readings. She seems completely unsuited to investigating the sudden brutal murder of her lover. A haunting mystery infused with humor, poetry, and urban grit.
