Classic Stage Company with terraNOVA Collective in association with The Public Theater, will present two-time Obie Award-winning actress Kathryn Grody in Falling Apart….Together for four evenings in April at CSC (136 East 13th Street).

'Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em' (2.5.144-146), Malvolio, Twelfth Night So says Malvolio, a bit-player in Shakespeare's Twelfth Night, who greatness continually eludes. His pomposity, belligerence is laughable to everyone in the play, and his longing to be a lover and beloved leaves him wishing revenge upon all and sundry.

January 2010 - an earthquake in Haiti leaves a hundred thousand people dead and almost two million homeless. Meanwhile in a leafy north London suburb, six individuals sit down to avocado and prawns - 'so reassuringly 1970s' - followed by a monkfish stew. They admire their host's beautifully appointed kitchen, fret about their 'ambitious' mortgages, make holiday plans, compare mobile phone tariffs, connect with Facebook friends, and worry that they might after all just be ordinary - will history remember any of them, and if so, what for? A social event in which much is said but little communicated rapidly disintegrates as the wine flows and some hard truths are told.
