Tennis Commentator Headlines Post-Show Panel at DON'T YOU F**KING SAY A WORD Off-Broadway

By:

Tonight, November 29th, Gelf Magazine will host a special post-show panel and talkback event, following the scheduled performance of Andy Bragen's Don't You F**king Say a Word at 59E59 Theaters (59 East 59th Street between Park and Madison).

The post-show discussion will focus on the topic of tennis and male rage with special guests including noted child psychiatrist Tony Charuvastra (www.drcharuvastra.com/who-I-am), former professional tennis player and renowned tennis commentator Patrick McEnroe (espnmediazone.com/us/bios/mcenroe_patrick), journalist Carl Bialik (tennis writer for www.fivethirtyeight.com; Former host of Gelf's Varsity Letters, a New York City sports reading series), and playwright Andy Bragen.

The performance of Don't You F**king Say a Word will begin at 7:15pm, followed by the post-show event at 8:45pm. Tickets ($35) are available online at www.59e59.org or by calling 212-279-4200.

In this structurally innovative comic drama, which takes place simultaneous over the course of a single tennis match, and over the course of two years, Kate and Leslie explore the complexities of their boyfriends' competitive spirits. Russ has a temper. Brian has been known to cheat. As their weekly tennis sets play out aggressively on stage, Kate and Leslie dissect their friendship and rivalry in a volley of sharp observation and wry wit. An explosive comedy about love, relationships, and the consequences of a lousy backhand.

The World Premiere of Andy Bragen's Don't You F**king Say a Word, directed by Lee Sunday Evans, is being presented by Andy Bragen Theatre Projects and Rachel Sussman at 59E59 Theaters (Elysabeth Kleinhans, Artist Director; Peter Tear, Executive Producer; Brian Beirne, Managing Director) November 4-December 4 with performances Tuesdays through Thursdays at 7:15pm, Fridays 8:15pm, Saturdays at 2:15pm & 8:15pm, and Sundays at 3:15pm.
