Triptych centers on three women--a wife Colin a mistress Sheedy and a daughter to be played by New York stage newcomer Carrie Specksgoor--who all expose their passions for the same man. In doing so each confronts the ways that love simultaneously entraps and liberates.
Triptych is scheduled to run off-Broadway through November 14.
