The limited engagement continues through Sunday, December 20.

As borders close down and walls go up, Moran, with his signature blend of vulnerability and humor, tackles a fundamental question: How do we find one another again?

Other Bodies is the third solo piece in a trilogy. The Tricky Part won a 2004 OBIE award and two Drama Desk nominations. His second play, All the Rage, won the 2013 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Off-Broadway Solo Show. Now Martin reunites with his long-time collaborator, Director Seth Barrish, in this world premiere.

'For more than twenty years, these solo pieces have been a way for me to wrestle with questions I don't know how to answer,' said Moran. 'Other Bodies grew out of the pandemic, a moment when we were suddenly forced apart from one another, but it became an exploration of something much larger: how we live with difference, how we recognize experiences that aren't our own, and how we find our way back to one another. I didn't set out to write a trilogy, but returning to this form with Seth, and bringing this third piece to The Barrow Group, where The Tricky Part first began, feels like completing a circle.'

Other Bodies also marks a full-circle return for Moran and Barrish. The Tricky Part was first presented in workshop form at The Barrow Group in November 2003 before its acclaimed Off-Broadway production. Barrish went on to direct All the Rage and now returns to direct Other Bodies, completing a collaboration across all three works that has spanned more than two decades.

'I've had the extraordinary privilege of working with Martin on these pieces for more than twenty years, and I've watched the questions he asks of himself and of an audience deepen and evolve,' said Barrish.

Moran has spent decades working as an actor on Broadway while building a parallel body of deeply personal autobiographical work. His Broadway credits include Spamalot, Cabaret, Titanic, Wicked, Big River, the revival of Funny Girl, and the original production of Floyd Collins.
