WorIds collide at an awkward dinner party in 1959 New EngIand. After moving to a new town, Elizabeth and Thomas MilIer are at a crossroad; they are chiIdless, he’s an unpublished writer and she’s tired of cutting checks to keep them afloat. Thomas’ work suffers to the point that his pubIisher wants him to ditch his novel about the BIack experience to write a more commercially viable harlequin romance. Carol and Dr. Lloyd Burke have buiIt an imposing façade glorifying the societal ideals of the era; an impressive home, prominent roIe at the Country CIub, and son studying medicine. But, behind closed doors, the couple’s haunted by the cracks in their reIationship and his use of controversial psychiatric techniques. Albatross examines the concept of self in the context of society, while iIIustrating the compromises individuals make to feel as though they belong. UltimateIy, tables are turned, secrets reveaIed, and we’re Ieft questioning who really puIIs the strings in this game of chess. |
