U.S. Comedy Stars Take the Stage in Three One-Act Plays at Assembly
In the world premiere of Pulitzer/Tony Award nominee Craig Lucas's (Prelude to a Kiss, An American in Paris, Amelie) zany and touching new play, THREE TALES OF LIFE AND DEATH, three stories collide in a world of voyeuristic theatre critics, bartenders with too much spirit and mysterious strangers looking for love in the afternoon.
In Phase 1, Love and Life, critics provide live commentary as the a couple make extra-marital love for the first time and the son of an overly anxious woman reflects on his mother and her tendencies to worry....,
In Phase 2, Death, as a bar tender is closing up for the night, a mysterious stranger walks in...
In Phase 3, Afterlife, in two separate scenes, two spirits encounter each other in Limbo and grapple with their former lives and what comes next.
Making their Edinburgh Fringe debuts, US comedy legends Richard Kline (of the US sitcom Three's Company) and Pamela Shaw (Swingers), perform these three one-act plays directed by Manhattan Theater Club's Associate Director Hunter Bird.
