No Longer Showing.
The Kitchen and Performance Space 122 present the New York premiere of The Evening by celebrated playwright-director Richard Maxwell. The Evening is the first installment of a Divine Comedy-inspired triptych that charts a journey across landscapes, toward redemption. This elegiac and musical work concerns three archetypes: a fighter, a corrupt manager, and a prostitute, as they clash and reckon with one another in a remote dive bar:
"I like this place, I'm not going to lie. Can't really think of any better place to be. Where can you go when you want to get away? The city doesn't let you run away to just anywhere so go where you need to be when you just want to hang out..."
With Cammisa Buerhaus, Jim Fletcher, Brian Mendes, James Moore, Andie Springer, and David Zuckerman.
March 12–28, 8pm
Tickets $25
The performance on March 15th will be followed by a talk back with Richard Maxwell moderated by artist Malik Gaines (of My Barbarian).
The performance on March 25th will be followed by a talk back with Richard Maxwell moderated by Jay Sanders with introduction by Tim Griffin.
