‘Grand Horizons’ at San Jose Stage explores whether senior married partners should stay together after the desire runs cold.
Why do children have such a hard time seeing their parents as living, sexual beings? Teenagers are often ready to at the mere thought of dad checking out mom’s caboose.
San Jose Stage Company’s production of “Grand Horizons,” featuring an insightfully funny, humor-filled script from playwright Bess Wohl, thoroughly examines these and other issues that take place among grown children and elderly parents. Like Bill and Nancy, who only get wiser as years pile up, the play itself gets stronger and more purposeful as it moves through its two-hour run time. It’s an offering infused with honesty revealing itself masterfully within Allison F. Rich’s keen direction.
Two other female characters fill vital roles in the narrative. Carla might feel superfluous based on Miller’s turn that presents an acting style different from other characters, but it really isn’t. Carla may be dismissed as a hussified villain, but Wohl offers this role as a nuanced perspective, opening Nancy’s eyes to real options. There’s also Ben’s very pregnant wife Jess , who rails mightily against two boys who make Willy Loman’s sons look like angels.
