Jim's Brand New Play

TO SUFFER THE WALTZ is my new four character, full-length play about F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald.  It shows how the love of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald survived despite multiple debilitating horrors.

The play centers on a psychiatrist’s office, where the characters try to determine whether Zelda can be discharged from the mental institution.  From there the action bursts forth into satellite scenes which dramatize the couple’s successes, their overindulgences, their illnesses, and their tragedies—but mostly their enduring love for each other.

The two non-major characters (the psychiatrist and his secretary) also portray Ernest Hemingway, Scott’s mistresses, Zelda’s lover, and her parents.
