Santa Monica
The New Ruskin Group Theatre Arts Center opens its inaugural production titled Honour Written by Joanna Murray-Smith & directed by Max Mayer, it features Marcia Cross and Matthew Letscher.
Synopsis: A sharp and authentic examination of love, betrayal, and the fragile agreements that hold marriages together. When a celebrated writer can’t seem to “do the right thing,” decades of loyalty, intimacy, and compromise unravel in a single evening. With wit and emotional precision, the play explores the personal cost of truth and the reverberations of a single, life-altering choice – asking whether honesty is always an act of courage, or sometimes one of cruelty.
