Breakdown
Synopsis: In the middle of a successful book tour, a left-wing journalist has a nervous breakdown and retreats to his wife's empty family farm in Canada. His teenage daughter follows, holding onto all the anger he's left behind. And her new mumblecore hacktivist boyfriend. But what exactly is he doing on his computer all the time? When Nick's wife comes to bring their daughter back to New York, his new found vision of a happy future proves more elusive than he imagined. DEATH OF THE LIBERAL CLASS is a dark comedy about liberal anger, capitalist co-option, and whether mellowing with age is really such a good thing after all.
New Ohio Theatre serves Manhattan's most adventurous audiences by developing, curating and presenting bold work by New York’s independent theatre community. We believe the best of this community, the small artistic ensembles and the daring producing companies who operate without a permanent theatrical home, are actively expanding the boundaries of what theatre is and what it can be. From our home in the West Village’s historic Archive Building, the New Ohio strengthens, nurtures, and promotes this community, providing a professional, high-profile platform for downtown’s most mature, ridiculous, engaging, irreverent, gut-wrenching, frivolous, sophisticated, foolish, and profound theatrical endeavors.
