Washington's own Rorschach Theatre company presents the bizarre new drama The Gallerist at Atlas Performing Arts Center. Penned by award-winning playwright Fengar Gael (The Island of No Tomorrows, Opaline, Devil Dog Six), The Gallerist finds a British-born gallerist in a Manhattan jail cell. There, he recounts the sordid tale of how he came to be charged with assault and vagrancy -- all thanks, in the end, to a spiteful monkey. With a plot that travels from modern-day Manhattan to a recent-past pet shop in London, the play touches on the power of art, the futility of unrequited love and the effects of repressed passion, all while drawing inspiration from the likes of Othello, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Theater Alliance Premieres Nicholas Wardigo's Hum

Full Price:
$35.00
Our Price:
$17.50

Theater Alliance presents the world premiere of Hum, by 2004 Pew Fellow Nicholas Wardigo. His latest work takes place in a world that is plagued with a pervasive hum, forcing everyone to communicate non-verbally. The central couple, Van and Eva, have built a normal life together without the use of the spoken word. When a stranger interferes, they are pushed into a new world with new ways of communicating, which changes their lives forever. With change comes sacrifice, however, and the couple must deal with the struggle between familiar routines and freedom, both in personal and political life. Learn More

Good play. Brings Freud back into Art while discussing the concept of a thing of beauty is forever.

This play is excellent in every way. A very engrossing story that takes a surprising direction. The actors were all excellent - in particular the actresses who played Serena and Laura. Serena's role was very physically demanding and her performance was excellent. We love the Atlas, it's a small intimate theater experience in an off the beaten path location in DC.
