Fiasco Theater Company’s Bartleby is a world premiere adaptation of Herman Melville’s classic tale, reimagined for the stage by Noah Brody and Paul L. Coffey. Directed by Emily Young, this production centers around the peculiar character of Bartleby, who challenges the monotony of office life in an 1850s law firm with his famous refrain, "I would prefer not to." Combining elements of dark comedy and absurdity, the show reflects on work and individual will. It is part of The Old Globe's 2026 season, showcasing a diverse lineup of theatrical productions.
