Norwegian Play About Men's Mental Health Lands Comes to the IRT Theater This Month

New play development company Alt eller Ingenting commissioned NYC playwright Ali Keller to write their newest play "Christen the Place." Its world premiere run at IRT Theater (part of its 3B Residency program) is June 29 - July 10, before it premieres in Norway this fall.

This dark comedy for audiences 15+ is about five young men coming together to put together furniture at their friend's new house. As their frustration with the furniture directions build, five years of emotions come up and come out pushing one to their breaking point. How will these men, with no emotional intelligence, help their friend, deal with their own emotions, mental health, and build a table?
