Set in 1930's New York City and on a transcontinental steamship, Blue Hyacinths tells the story of Miss Macbane, a spinster living in a residence hotel who fantasizes about becoming a world traveler, and Mrs. Delcart, a world traveler and widow, who dreams of settling down. They meet on the S.S. Barnabetta, and after trying on each other's lives, discover that they miss their old way of life. In the last moments of the play, they decide to return to their familiar worlds.
"Sabrina Peck is a passionate collaborator. The lyrical intelligence with which she tackles the cadences of my own quirky theatrical language and the physical world of my characters brings my plays to life before my eyes in ways I have seldom experienced. I am mesmerized by the way she connects with actors and the level at which she articulates her thoughts. Her exacting theatricality, her sharp sense of comic timing, her conceptual understanding of complex structures—and the vocabulary she uses to implement them, both spatially and in terms of the dramatic arc—make her the director for my work."

"Wit is the cry of pain, the true word that pierces the heart. If it does not pierce, then it is not true wit. True wit should break a good man's heart."

1931-1965
