Plays I have to see in the next 3 weeks include OUR LEADING LADY, SOME MEN, and ESSENTIAL SELF-DEFENSE. If anyone's got any discounts codes etc, feel free to send them.
Here's the thing. Adam Rapp's plays don't just go away. They come up in conversation like, all the time. And if you missed them, you're screwed. I wouldn't give up the experience of seeing NOCTURNE or RED LIGHT WINTER for anything, and I kick myself for missing BLACKBIRD. And now this one has Heather Goldenhersh (who we all agree shouldn't do Shakespeare, but we love her anyway), and Paul Sparks (does life get any better than Paul Sparks? (no it does not)), so I strongly encourage seeing this...and quickly I guess, cause the run is only 4.5 weeks long.
Some of my favorite shows have been: Mnemonic (Complicite), Long Days Journey Into Night, Debbie Does Dallas, The Elephant Vanishes (Complicite), Where Do We Live? (Vineyard), Cloudstreet (BAM) Uncle Vanya (BAM), Autoro Uoi (National Actors Theatre), I Am My Own Wife, Cymbeline (Theatre for a New Audience), The Chairs (Complicite), Orange Flower Water (Edge), Small Tragedy (Playwrights), Honor and the River (SPF), Spirit (Improbable), Goodnight Children Everywhere (Playwrights), The Play About The Baby, Radiant Baby (Public), Last Easter (MCC), The Lightning Field (Fringe), The Laramie Project (Tectonic), 4:48 Psychosis (St. Ann's), Thom Pain, Mother Courage (Public), Four (MTC), Nocturne (NYTW), Essential Self Defense (Playwrights), Blasted (Soho Rep)
