Photo Flash: First Look at DirectorFest 2019's THE CLITORISH and DRUNK ENOUGH TO SAY I LOVE YOU?

The Drama League presents DirectorFest 2019: The 35th Annual Directors Festival, the only festival in the United States exploring the art of Contemporary Stage directing, continued into the second weekend with The Clitorish and Drunk Enough to Say I Love You? at the New Ohio Theatre (154 Christopher Street). Festival programming, tickets and additional details are available at www.directorfest.org, or by calling (212) 244-9494.

The double bill included the new play The Clitorish by Mara Nelson-Greenberg and directed by 2018 Drama League New York Directing Fellow Jennifer Chang. The three-member cast for The Clitorish featured Robin Abramson as Sheila, Tony Carlin as Ted, and Aaron Costa Ganis as Stephen. The Stage Manager is Yetti Steinman. Casting by Michael Cassera, CSA.

In The Clitorish, a savvy new comedy by Mara Nelson-Greenberg, a husband and wife discover their teenage son has confused a diagram of a vagina for a map of the Middle East. What else is there to do? Hire a vagina tutor! The Clitorish explores "truthiness", the unwritten rules of the world...and who gets to write them.

Drunk Enough To Say I Love You? by Caryl Churchill and directed by 2018 Drama League New York Directing Fellow Tara Elliott. The two-member cast for Drunk Enough To Say I Love You? featured Deven Kolluri as Guy, and Quentin Mare as Sam. The Stage Manger is Will Chaloner. The Dramaturg is Laura Colleluori. Casting by Cindi Rush.

In Drunk Enough To Say I Love You?, Jack would do anything for Sam. Sam would do...anything. And around this simple premise, the legendary Caryl Churchill -- called "the greatest living English playwright" by Tony Kushner -- slyly depicts a deeply dysfunctional relationship between two men...or, perhaps, between a man and a much larger idea. Taut, elliptical, and unforgettable.
