A Psychological Thriller
Murder in Green Meadows is a mystery with more twists than a roller coaster. The play takes place in a staid subdivision in suburban Illinois which was designed and built by Thomas Devereaux. He and his wife, Joan, have just moved into the model home. Thomas harbors secrets that are foreshadowed and revealed throughout the play. Little is quite what it seems. Two neighbors, Carolyn and Jeff Symons, have decided to befriend the new couple, to their own eventual peril. Both couples are in their mid to late thirties.
Thomas likes to control things and brings his quick intellect to manipulate his wife and the truth. Joan seems fairly simple in her approach to life and accepts Thomas' dominance as her security blanket, with a little passive-aggressive defiance thrown in. Carolyn is a bright, successful career woman who can not balance trying to be the perfect wife, mother and workaholic. Jeff hasn't been much help. After a breakdown, Carolyn decides to give up her job and embrace the role of suburban homemaker. This puts pressure on Jeff to step up in his own career, which he finds difficult with his more laid back skill set. Joan's fatal weaknesses provide the momentum for much of the story, which can't be revealed without spoiling the action and outcome.
A more complete description of the plot and characters, as well as perusal scripts, is available at TCP. Auditions will include some warm-up exercises, a short monologue which will be selected at auditions, and script readings from the play.
