A story of the incredible bond of friendship forged between comrades-in-arms premieres in the Gubelman Theatre this summer.
Playwright and Friday Harbor resident Miguel Herbert describes Only a Ridgeline Away
as “a cross between Grumpy Old Men
and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
” The principal characters, Matt Slater and Michael T. Mooney, are Vietnam combat veterans and lifelong best friends. While in their 50s they made a pact: when they needed to transition into a care facility, they would be together. The time has come.
Herbert says the play is full of both drama and plenty of zany antics. “The one thing that kept me from going bonkers in Vietnam was my three close friends. Two of us were fortunate enough to make it home. It is my goal, through this stage play, to give audience members a look at the astounding level of friendship experienced among men who have served together in combat.”
NOTE: This play features adult language and situations that may not be suitable for young children.
