GEORGE IS DEAD, Written by Elaine May
TALKING CURE, Written by Ethan Coen
Directed by Paul J. Reitnauer III
A pair of one act plays that comprised parts of the scintillating trilogy Relatively Speaking. In George Is Dead, multiple-Award winner Elaine May (of the famed Nichols & May comedy duo) presents Doreen, the widow of George who is too hilariously spoiled and superficial to grieve. Can anyone be that monumentally self-absorbed, even in a farce? Happily, yes!
Ethan Coen, creator of such brilliant films as “Fargo” and “The Big Lebowski”, turns his dark-comedy skills toward the stage with a bitingly funny tug-of-war between a postal worker incarcerated in a mental hospital and the therapist trying to treat him. “Packed with nifty zingers!” NY TIMES ** Mature Language**
