IRTE & The Squeaky Wheel Fringe Festival To Present THE LONELY DEATH OF L. HARRIS

IRTE, the Improvisational Repertory Theatre Ensemble, will present The Lonely Death of L. Harris at Squeaky Wheel Fringe.

Guided by audience suggestions, IRTE will take on matters of mortality and identity in perhaps their most unusual show yet. Loosely inspired by the widely read New York Times article, The Lonely Death of George Bell, L. Harris is a dark comedy that will make audiences laugh and question their own sense of self and whether any of us is ever truly "knowable."

L. Harris is dead, alone and unseen in a NYC apartment with no next of kin and no mourners. Join IRTE in their latest serio-comedy as they piece together the clues and secrets of a life unnoticed, improvising a fitting obituary. Is identity immutable? Do we live parallel lives? Or are we the sum of others' perceptions?
