Joseph's Hardware

Can a woman love two men at the same time? JOSEPH’S HARDWARE is the story of Betsy and her lifelong loves of her husband Mark and their high-school friend Ken. While Mark is away on international business, Ken and Betsy build a local business together in rural Vermont and start to see a lifetime of dreams approach fruition, when suddenly Mark is killed in a terrorist attack, and grief chips away at everyone’s confidence for decades. "JOSEPH’S HARDWARE …is a fine inner monologue … a brilliant transition in mood and tone. The last pages are quite moving … It ends where the three’s relationship began – with Guys and Dolls. Very fine writing. Great description and feeling for northern New England and winter and cold. It reminded me a bit of John Updike."– David S. Levenson, Performing Arts Director
