HQP Bold Voices: The Treasurer

The second staged reading in Harlequin's Bold Voices series is The Treasurer, by Max Posner. He promised himself he’d never take care of her—but here he is, managing her finances, dodging her phone calls, and drowning in resentment.

As his elderly mother slips further into decline, a son struggles to reconcile past wounds with present duties.

In The Treasurer, Max Posner crafts a haunting and often hilarious portrait of parental estrangement and middle-aged anxiety.

Through surreal encounters and biting wit, this unforgettable play captures the emotional math we all attempt when weighing love against responsibility.

A tender, tragic, and sharply observed journey through the ledger of a life.
