The Loneliest Whale in the World, written by Zoe Geltman and directed by Julia May Jonas, will be performed at the Community Space Theater at Theater for the New City as part of the 2013 Dream Up Festival, from August 28 - September 7. The Loneliest Whale...is a play about a sad whale who has decided to end its own life, and two self-destructive loners who risk allowing their hideous kinks to swallow themselves up. As all three alternately fight and give into the shameful morbid pleasure of obsession and complacency, this performance invites the question: can we ever really fix our broken parts?
