A Night of Russian Theater

Ink Wash on Bristol Board 10"x 14"

This dark piece was done for a theater production at CCSU. The production was of two Russian plays. In one an aging actor falls asleep during the performance. No one wakes him and the play goes off without anyone noticing his absence. In the second a business man contemplates suicide as he is forced to drive back into work while he and his family are away at a cottage on vacation. I fused the two ideas of these plays into one image of an actor portraying a business man contemplating suicide on an empty stage. It was done with an ink wash.
