'1001' Cast & Playwright Grote in Post-Show Discussion 11/14

Page 73 Productions has announced a post-show discussion on Wednesday, November 14 with 1001 playwright Jason Grote and the play's cast, which includes Mia Barron, Drew Cortese, Roxanna Hope, Jonathan Hova, Matthew Rauch, and John Livingstone Rolle.  The discussion will focus on the author's collaboration with the cast in creating 1001.

"Mixing the labyrinthine wordplay of Jorge Louis Borges with the ideas of Edward Said and the slapstick comedy of Monty Python, 1001 hyperlinks Scheherazade's tales to contemporary Manhattan.  Time blurs and reality is fractured and reconstructed in a world inhabited by characters whose identity shifts unpredictably and deliriously," explain press notes.

1001 is written by Jason Grote and directed by Ethan McSweeny, and plays at the Nagelberg Theatre at Baruch Performing Arts Center (BPAC), 55 Lexington Avenue, entrance on East 25 Street, between Lexington and Third Avenues until Saturday, November 17. 

The cast of 1001 features Mia Barron, Drew Cortese, Roxanna Hope, Jonathan Hova, Matthew Rauch, and John Livingstone Rolle.  1001 is produced by Page 73, the non-profit that developed and produced this year's Pulitzer finalist Elliot, A Soldier's Fugue by Quiara Alegria Hudes.

1001 plays Monday through Friday at 8pm and Saturday at 3pm and 8pm through November 17 at the Nagelberg Theater at the Baruch Performing Arts Center, 55 Lexington Avenue, entrance on 25 Street, between Lexington and Third Avenues.
