Sarah Einspanier’s LUNCH BUNCH is Back!

 

Last seen at Clubbed Thumb's Summerworks, Sarah Einspanier’s wonderful LUNCH BUNCH  has returned courtesy of Play Company.  A rare Critics' Pick from The New York Time's Alexis Soloski should tell you not to miss this second chance to see this show!

“Dragon Fruit! Black Beluga Lentils! Perfectly Soft-Boiled Eggs!”

Seven public defenders seek meaning, belonging, and some semblance of order via their frenzied quest for the perfect lunch – while battling ACS, inequality, burnout, and a big ole serving of existential dread.

David Greenspan: The Agrument + Plays

Transport Group will present a one-night only presentation of two wonderful solo pieces by David Greenspan, The Argument and Plays, on Sunday April 28th at 7pm, as part of their Dark Night Series during their regular run of The Memory Show.

The Argument by David Greenspan
Based on both Aristotle’s Poetics and the essays of Gerald F. Else, The Argument is a passionate student’s love-letter and farewell to his teacher – reminding us of the personal pathos that binds us to the Greeks, and firing us to capture that chimera, art. The 40-minute monologue dramatizes the attack on poetry made by Plato in the Republic, and the coherent rebuttal offered by Aristotle in the Poetics.

Plays by Gerturde Stein
Plays is Gertrude Stein’s whimsical and provocative lecture on theatre; a hidden gem of theatricality and wit that only Stein could have delivered – a coherent account of her development as a playwright and her exploration of theatre from the standpoint of sight and sound rather than story and action.

Best of 2011: #7 - Go Back To Where You Are

 

David Greenspan's GO BACK TO WHERE YOU ARE was completely delightful love note to the theater.  The sheer fact that Greenspan was able to pack so much intelligence, humor and time-trippy fun into sixty minutes is a feat unto itself. The ensemble, including Greenspan, was sublime and I was lucky enough to catch the wonderful Mary Shultz in the show before she had to depart early for personal reasons.  And as complex as the play was, director Leigh Silverman did a terrific job making everything flow beautifully.  Thanks to Playwrights Horizons for their dedication to David Greenspan.
