The Francis Marion
University Theatre's 2013-14 season's winter
production will be Tape,
a play by Stephen Belber directed by professor Keith Best. It
will be performed in the Black Box Theatre in the FMU Performing Arts Center, downtown Florence.
Jon, an aspiring filmmaker on the verge of
hitting it big, hooks up for the weekend with his best friend from high
school, Vince, a volunteer fireman who makes his money selling dope.
Jon's new film is being shown at a festival in Lansing, Michigan, and
Vince has come from Oakland to see it.
Over the course of the evening, Vince finally gets Jon to admit that ten
years ago he date-raped Amy Randall, a girl whom they both dated in
high school—only then to reveal that he's taped their entire
conversation. And not only that, he's invited Amy to have dinner with
them that night. Beneath its suspenseful, high-stakes surface, Tape examines questions of motive, memory, truth and perception.
"Fascinating and entertaining…a terrific play…Real talk, real characters, real situations—a real play." —NY Post.
