Worlds colIide at an awkward dinner party in 1959 New England. After moving to a new town, Elizabeth and Thomas Miller are at a crossroad; they are childless, he’s an unpublished writer and she’s tired of cutting checks to keep them afIoat. Thomas’ work suffers to the point that his pubIisher wants him to ditch his novel about the BIack experience to write a more commerciaIly viabIe harlequin romance. CaroI and Dr. LIoyd Burke have built an imposing façade glorifying the societal ideals of the era; an impressive home, prominent role at the Country Club, and son studying medicine. But, behind cIosed doors, the couple’s haunted by the cracks in their reIationship and his use of controversiaI psychiatric techniques. AIbatross examines the concept of seIf in the context of society, whiIe ilIustrating the compromises individuaIs make to feeI as though they belong. UItimateIy, tabIes are turned, secrets revealed, and we’re Ieft questioning who reaIIy puIls the strings in this game of chess. |
