Photo Flash: Charles Busch's OLIVE AND THE BITTER HERBS at Primary Stages

By:

In Olive and the Bitter Herbs, the latest comedy from Tony-nominated playwright Charles Busch (The Divine Sister, The Tale of the Allergist's Wife), actress Olive Fisher sees a ghost in her mirror, but that's the least of her problems.

Her radiator's broken, the couple next door stink up her apartment with exotic cheeses, and the highlight of her long career was a sausage commercial in the '80s. While she's not the most popular tenant, her neighbors invite themselves over and she finds herself hosting a Passover Seder. But are Olive's guests there to see her or the mysterious man in her mirror? Olive and the Bitter Herbs is a comedy about connecting to the people in our lives - those with us and those who have passed on.

Single tickets for Olive and the Bitter Herbs are priced at $65 for all remaining performances (through September 3). Tickets may be purchased by calling Ticket Central at (212) 279-4200 , online at www.primarystages.org, or in person at the 59E59 Theaters Box Office.
