Coming Soon: The Great Recession

Someone was recently lamenting, on All That Chat I believe, the lack of political/sociopolitical plays, specifically about the economic meltdown. Well, as if on cue, The Flea Theater is presenting an evening of short plays entitled The Great Recession. Six plays in total written by six of THE HOTTEST playwrights working. This is something that is most likely not to be missed!

RECESS by Sheila Callaghan.

SEVERED by Erin Courtney.
Directed by Davis McCallum.

Itamar Moses' LOVE/STORIES extends 3 weeks!

The Flea Theater has extended Itamar Moses' Love/Stories (or But You Will Get Used To It) after receiving pretty much universal raves. Love/Stories is a collection of five short plays by one of the hottest young playwrights currently writing.

A casting session for a play about a love affair goes awry. A talk-back with a theatre audience becomes the occasion for a life-altering choice. A couple moving in together finds that greater intimacy can have surprising results. Nothing is what it seems in these five funny and poignant short plays.

The Flea Theater presents
LOVE/STORIES (OR BUT YOU WILL GET USED TO IT)
Now through March 30.
Performance times vary.
