The comfortable suburban routine of Danton Brockway and his wife, Eileen, is interrupted by the arrivals of Adrian Conway, a fading movie star who has come to town to guest star with Eileen in a local production of Come Back Little Sheba, and their son’s first high school sweetheart. The impact of these arrivals upon the Brockway family and their long-time friend, the recently divorced Raul, drives Gordon Osmond's new play to its shattering conclusion. Combining the breezy wit of a drawing room comedy with the plot twists of a mystery thriller, Queen of Sheba depicts not only the explosion of a marriage, but also a cultural and moral collision--its victims and its survivors. Queen of Sheba tackles the themes of Madame Bovary with a lighter, more contemporary touch.
