Two Weeks In Falmouth

Fading Hollywood legend Robert Morgan arrives in New England for a summer stock revival of Desire in the Boudoir, the very play that once shattered his early career. Determined to reclaim his dignity onstage, Robert hides a devastating secret—his failing health. As he battles memory lapses, old rivalries, and the weight of his own past, he finds himself caught between two women: Lilly LaRue, his fiery ex-wife and co-star, and Eleanor Adams, the theater’s steadfast and unassuming head of wardrobe. Lilly, a former silver-screen siren, is eager to prove she’s still a force to be reckoned with. Decades of resentment and unresolved passion simmer between her and Robert, both onstage and off. Their scenes crackle with energy, but behind the glamour, she senses something is wrong with him. Meanwhile, Eleanor, long accustomed to working in the shadows, sees past Robert’s bravado to the vulnerable man underneath. Unlike the adoring fans and industry yes-men he’s used to, she offers him something different—truth, quiet strength, and a connection he never expected. As opening night looms, Robert must make a choice: cling to the image of the leading man he once was or embrace the truth of who he is now. With Eleanor’s quiet encouragement—and one final, blistering confrontation with Lilly—he steps onto the stage not as the dashing hero, but as the butler, the very part he once failed. In doing so, he comes full circle, making peace with the past, the career that defined him, and the man he has become. His final, unforgettable performance is not just for the audience, but for the two women who truly see him—proving that legacy isn’t about perfection, but about heart, redemption, and the courage to embrace one’s own truth.
