Lucie Pohl's CRY ME A LIVER Plays as Part of 59E59's 'East to Edinburgh' Tonight

After five-star reviews and sold-out shows across North America and Europe with her debut hour 'Hi, Hitler', that told the real life tale of being Bertolt Brecht's real-life niece with a fascination for Hitler, Lucie Pohl previews her new show CRY ME A LIVER off-Broadway for four shows only at 59E59 Theaters as part of the East to Edinburgh series before returning to the Edinburgh Festival's Gilded Balloon for the second year.

This year sees a departure for Lucie with a character comedy show that brings you an exquisitely mad collection of NYC characters. Cry Me A Liver is directed by Terranova's Jessi D. Hill with sound design by Matt Otto.

Lucie Pohl is an obsessive-compulsive eavesdropper and observationist. In her quest to climb into other people's minds and time spent following strangers around on the streets of New York City, London, Berlin and Cumbernauld, she entraps a myriad of characters that now inhabit her body and are dying to come out. 'Cry Me A Liver' sees her play everyone but herself including a fame obsessed Sia wanna be, a philosophizing New York City bum, a German mind and body healer with a serious crush on Benicio del Toro and many more. Cry Me A Liver is a hilarious look at the sad search for happiness. Expect hashtags, scumbags, doorags and a banana phone.

Lucie plays a recurring role on Showtime's HOMELAND and her lead role in the film 'Magi' directed by Hasan Karacadag and also starring Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill), Stephen Baldwin (The Usual Suspects) and Brianne Davis (Jarhead, True Blood) is due to come out this September. Other credits include: Film: Not Fade Away (Paramount Vantage), El Cielo Es Azul (Vox3 Films) a.o.. Theatre: Three Graces (Immigrant's Theater Project/3-LD), Alma Mahler: Widow of the 4 Arts (The Los Angeles Theatre), Vocal Migrations (LaMaMa) MFA in Acting from the University of the Arts in Berlin.

Lucie Pohl's CRY ME A LIVER plays 59E59 Theaters NYC tonight, July 16, and July 17, 18 at 6:30pm and July 19 at 7:30pm. Tickets are $15 at tinyurl.com/qj9xgtu or www.59e59.org. For more information, visit www.luciepohl.com or follow her on Twitter @luciepohlcomedy.
