Reading at 8:00 pm (to allow for traffic we start a little late, it's true) Miss Galbraith and Mr. Richards, recently separated lovers find themselves confined to the same compartment of a railway car on the way to Schenectady. Mortifying though it may be, it is also a chance to look a little more closely at the reason for their spat. And when the car is de-coupled from its train, stranded on the lonesome track... well, who knows what may happen. One of a series of his "railway car" farces, The Parlor Car is filled with Howells's distinctive wit and feel for polite niceties, and his impatience for socially mandated confusions. This one is particularly close to the circumstance of a socially distancing audience. Originally published in the Atlantic Monthly in 1876, the play is also particularly well suited to a "static" presentation, though it throws down a particular gauntlet to the "Zoom drama" technique that Metropolitan is only too glad to pick up in its evolving exploration of online drama. Largesse Metropolitan is delighted to present these readings as a small way of keeping the theater's pilot lit. They also serve to help us compensate performing artists, so particularly struck by this long "pause."
