the cryptogram
Actor Alan Rickman recommended Eddie
for the world premiere of David Mamet's The Cryptogram. The show ran for
three months and led to Eddie being offered the lead role in 900 Oneonta.
THE CRYPTOGRAM is a journey back to childhood and the moment when it vanishes. On a night in 1959, a boy is waiting to go on a camping trip with his father while his mother wants him to go to sleep. A family friend is trying to entertain them, or perhaps distract them. Set in a homey, yet eerily discomforting living room, THE CRYPTOGRAM watches as a young boy's peaceful world is suddenly revealed as a place of danger and betrayal where grownups speak in code, a cryptic language that he may never be able to decipher.
