All three plays experiment with form and structure to create fantastical worlds that push the bounds of traditional storytelling.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN, a collection of three short plays, will run from May 5-7 at The Chain Theatre.
Martha Epstein's The Things She Held, David Glover's The Wanderer, and Luis Roberto Herrera's when superheroes die and how we mourn them... will have their off-Broadway debuts in this original production. All three plays experiment with form and structure to create fantastical worlds that push the bounds of traditional storytelling.
The Things She Held was recently acquired by Broadway Licensing and will feature Epstein in the lead role. The play follows a girl as she delivers an acceptance speech to one person, or a few people, or an empty space, or a collection of memories. The Wanderer is a solo piece about nightmares, history, the "sleep gap" and one man's journey to reclaim his dream space. when superheroes die and how we mourn them... tells a story of the people we idolize in our lives, what happens when they are gone, and how we choose to move on. The question of TIME moves through each of the pieces, creating a unified show from three different vantage points.
