Gray Duck 
by Amy Seham

​Market Garden Theatre
​The Minnesota Fringe Festival 2014


Inspired by Ibsen’s Wild Duck, when dead animals start appearing, four millennials, a baby boomer, and an internet guru are forced to examine the lies we live by. Is truth becoming a thing of the past?

Five recent college graduates wrestle with love, work, and the meaning of life in the millennium. With humor and sympathy, the play follows a young idealist, a disillusioned composer, a radical artist, a computer nerd, and a battered wife, as each character confronts his or her own “life lie.” Their responses might surprise the old Norwegian playwright – but then again, we think he’d understand.

Reviews
 'Life is very gray and this show illustrated that with the interconnected lives of the characters. Odd and quirky and random--much like our lives.'

'Overall, I enjoyed myself and would recommend this show to others who wish to see it in the future beyond the Fringe.'

'As a recent college grad, I loved the characters-- their struggles with finding meaning in their post-grad lives and jobs were heartbreakingly accurate portrayals of what it means to be a floundering millennial in 2014. The writing was funny, touching, and, frankly, hit uncomfortably close to home.'

'Overall, worth your time'
