The Treasurer

The Treasurer

Lyric Stage Company of Boston
140 Clarendon Street Boston

Ida Armstrong is broke, lonely, and fading fast. As she cheerfully spends all of her children’s money, her son is forced to assume the unwanted role of The Treasurer: an arrangement that becomes untenable the more he questions his devotion to her. This darkly funny, sharply intimate new work chronicles the strained ties between a son and his aging mother, and the weight of a guilty conscience. “Posner’s play is a ravishing slow burn, with layers that quietly unpeel as the piece goes on… quite simply, a marvel!” – New York Magazine.
