Caryl Churchill returns for her seventh American premiere at New York Theatre Workshop with a theatrical kaleidoscope exploring more than a hundred characters as they try to make sense of what they find out.
Love and Information: Someone sneezes. Someone can't get a signal. Someone shares a secret. Someone won't answer the door. Someone put an elephant on the stairs. Someone's not ready to talk. Someone is her brother's mother. Someone hates irrational numbers. Someone told the police. Someone got a message from the traffic light. Someone's never felt like this before.
The creative team features sets by Miriam Buether, costumes by Gabriel Berry and Andrea Hood, lighting by Peter Mumford and sound Christopher Shutt.
Six of Caryl Churchill's previous plays have made their American premiers at New York Theatre Workshop including 'Far Away,' 'Mad Forest,' 'Owners,' 'Traps,' and 'Light Shining in Buckinghamshire.'
'A Number' was the last Churchill's play to be premiered by New York Theatre Workshop. That prodution, which was also directed by James MacDonald, earned Churchill a 2005 Obie Award.
