Synopsis/Details
Robert Morgan, once the toast of the silver screen, reunites with his fiery ex-wife Lilly LaRue for a summer stock production at the Falmouth Playhouse. Their scenes bristle with wit and tension, echoing decades of unresolved passion and professional rivalry. But offstage, it’s clear something is wrong—Robert is faltering in small, quiet ways that only someone who knows him well could notice. While Lilly confronts the ghosts of their shared past, someone else sees the truth behind Robert’s performance. Eleanor Adams, the theater’s grounded and observant head of wardrobe, offers him something he’s not used to—compassion without conditions, honesty without expectation. As an unlikely connection forms between them, Robert begins to make decisions that surprise everyone, including himself. As the two-week engagement unfolds, and the curtain rises night after night, Robert faces the hardest role of his life—not on the stage, but within himself. What follows is a quiet act of transformation that challenges his legacy, rekindles lost dignity, and brings a long-awaited sense of peace. Two Weeks in Falmouth is a tender, character-driven drama about aging with grace, the complexities of love after the spotlight fades, and the power of truth over ego. Equal parts theatrical love letter and emotional reckoning, it captures the quiet beauty of second chances—onstage and off.
