High finance, family dysfunction, death — and laughs. The world premiere of Dinner at Home between Deaths, a pitch-black comedy by Andrea Lepcio (Looking for the Pony), directed by Stuart Ross (Forever Plaid) and presented by Indie Chi Productions, opens as a guest production at the Odyssey Theatre on April 2.
Inspired by the Bernie Madoff scandal and other Ponzi schemes before and since, Lepcio’s comic thriller examines the American dream and American identity in the face of eroding ethics. The Indie Chi production stars, in alphabetical order, Amielynn Abellera (title role in Se Llama Cristina at Theatre @ Boston Court), Diane Cary (NBC mini-series V), Andrea Evans (three decades on One Life to Live as Tina Lord) and Todd Waring (ABC Family series Chasing Life).
In Dinner at Home, Sean Lynch (Waring) is a high-powered financier who’s made his a fortune on the backs of his investors – more specifically, on the backs of the charity run by his sister-in-law Kat (Evans). As the reckoning draws near, he fantasizes running away to Ireland, but his unsuspecting wife Fiona (Cary) is not having any of that. Meanwhile Lily (Abellera), Kat’s step-adopted daughter who works for Sean’s firm, has gone missing.
