New Jersey Stage - July/August 2014 | Page 32

An interview with Robert Caisley by Gary Wien “Lucky Me” at New Jersey Repertory Company in Long Branch, July 31 – August 31, 2014 Sara Fine’s having a bad week. The light bulbs in her apartment keep burning out; the aquarium is perpetually full of dead fish; the cat’s gone AWOL, again, and her blind, elderly father -- who chased off her last beau -- is immediately suspicious of Tom, the new neighbor, a TSA agent who New Jersey Stage just brought Sara home from the emergency room on New Year’s Eve with a fractured 5th metatarsal. As Tom’s attraction to Sara intensifies, he learns of an increasingly bizarre streak of bad luck that’s been haunting Sara for years – twenty two years to be precise. July 2014 pg 32
