OTOSOTR Comes to United Solo Festival

A show from the steppes of Kazakhstan is coming to the largest theater festival of solo performances United Solo in New York City. The show made by ethnic Koreans who's first language is Russian will be presented at the Theatre Row on October 27th at 4PM. This monodrama is written and performed by Anatoliy Ogay and directed by Tatyana Kim, artists from Kazakhstan whose works have been performed from Eurasia to North America. The premiere of OTOSOTR took place in Almaty, Kazakhstan with three successful sold-out shows in May 2018. Later in August the solo show was presented at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe as part of the Underbelly's most successful year at the fringe. OTOSOTR won an Asian Arts Award in the category "Innovative Theatre" at the festival and was highly reviewed by the main media outlets of the UK.

Griffin Theatre Company Presents the World Premiere of THE FEATHER IN THE WEB By Nick Coyle

A Lysicrates Prize finalist, The Feather in the Web is Nick Coyle's wild and unpredictable take on infatuation and self-discovery. Griffin's former Artistic Associate Ben Winspear returns to direct Tina Bursill, Gareth Davies, Michelle Lim Davidson and Claire Lovering in what can only be described as one of the most inventive plays to land on the SBW stage and a startling coming of age story. Part picaresque, part fable, moving from engagement parties to improv comedy, the play skewers our obsession with couples and careers and asks just how much we're willing to give, and lose, for love?
