Three Tables at Zephyr Theatre

Padua Playwrights presents the world premiere of Three Tables, the newest work from legendary poet/playwright Murray Mednick, a pioneer of New Yorks off-off-Broadway movement in the 60s. Mednicks trademark use of quick repartee, dark Borscht Belt humor, and meta theatrical references are the underpinnings of a more serious, existential meditation on the advent of tyranny.
