Timepiece by Kico Gonzales-Risso
Retired watchmaker Walter is becoming forgetful — or is he just being capricious? His wife Doris wants to downsize. Walter does not. Their adult children Patrick (a lawyer) and Karla (a music therapist) have lots of advice for Mom and Dad when the siblings are not arguing with each other.
Timepiece is a funny, poignant and respectful look at ageing, marriage and family dynamics.

About staged readings:
Intended to encourage up-and-coming directors and actors, along with experienced ones, Mercury Players’ staged readings have only three rehearsals and involve minimal movement. No stage, no special effects; just energetic rehearsed readings — story-telling at its most basic. Come along and join the informal fun!
