Toshiki Okada's QUIET, COMFORT Runs August 11 - 27

OBIE-winning theater company Hoi Polloi (Three Pianos, Shadows) presents Quiet, Comfort, a newly-commissioned text by Japanese phenomenon playwright Toshiki Okada.

For the piece, director Alec Duffy fashions a dream world in which the audience joins the actors on a giant bed that fills the entire stage of JACK for a piece about travel, first-world privilege and the danger of a life lived alone. With choreography by Stacy Grossfield, Hoi Polloi offers a mysterious experience that aims for the subconscious.

Quiet, Comfort is supported by the Japan Foundation through the Performing Arts JAPAN program and is made possible in part by the Puffin Foundation and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

JACK's programming is made possible by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and Councilmember Laurie Cumbo, by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature, by The DuBose and Dorothy Heyward Memorial Fund, the Mental Insight Foundation and by The Nathan Cummings Foundation.
