Fiasco Theater Company presents a new adaptation of Herman Melville's Bartleby, exploring the absurdities of work and individuality set in an 1850s law firm. Directed by Emily Young, this world premiere combines humor and existential reflection, portraying the chaos that ensues when the mild-mannered Bartleby asserts his famous refusal: "I would prefer not to." The play promises a vivid theatrical experience that challenges conventional norms about productivity and compliance.
