Wallace Shawn's The Fever, presented by the New Group in its first revival, opened on January 29th after beginning previews on January 9th. It will play a run through March 3rd.
"An anonymous narrator wakes up in a war-torn country with a terrible fever, unable to reconcile the privilege he has enjoyed with his current surroundings. Shawn's The Fever examines the links between the affluence many Americans take for granted and the horrors of poverty and suffering that haunt the lives of millions," state production notes on the show, which will be helmed by New Group artistic director Scott Elliott.Last season, writer and performer Shawn wrote The Music Teacher with his brother, composer Allen Shawn for The New Group as well as a new translation of The Threepenny Opera for the Roundabout Theater Company (directed by Elliott). His other plays include The Designated Mourner, Aunt Dan and Lemon and Marie and Bruce. With André Gregory, he wrote the film My Dinner With André, and has also appeared in many films, including The Princess Bride.
