The Wife

The late, lamented Noonan’s second feature as director/writer/lead actor/editor/composer (whew!), born of a theater workshop conducted under the name “Wifey.” Jack and Rita (Noonan and Julie Hagerty), a childless, married pair of New Age-y therapists living in suburban Vermont, receive an unexpected visit from one of Jack’s patients (Shawn, marvelously milquetoast) and his significantly younger wife (Karen Young), this developing into a bibulous evening of confession and rancorous confrontation.

Q&A with screenwriter Wallace Shawn and actor Julie Hagerty moderated by series curators Lucas Kane on Friday, May 22nd
