"Brothel" by Isa Seyran is a new play that explores the question of what is at the deepest core of men and women. The audience follows Sally, an aging prostitute, and Hal, her good-natured pimp, as they navigate the shifting and sometimes brutal realities of their profession. It questions whether people are defined by work, or can be more than what they do for a living. The play takes an unexacting look at human nature while providing a grounded optimism that the past is something that can be, if not left entirely behind, perhaps grown past at any age. With echoes of theatrical ancestors "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "Cabaret", characters who grow older, confront hard truths, and endure callous betrayals are all given deft treatment by the playwright against the often seedy, sometimes elegant backdrop of the world's oldest profession.
