Extra special gratitude to The Delancey, Menya, Baby Teardrops, Fall On Your Sword, Peculiar Gentlemen and NyelLee for providing a perfect venue and music to rock the zombies brains out.

Press Release: Safari Party

2008-08-15T11:47:00.000-04:00

From the writer of Calendar Girls and Kinky Boots
Personal Space Theatrics is pleased to announce the US Premiere
of Tim Firth's

The SAFARI PARTY
At Kaufman Theater at Algonquin
Directed by Nicholas Cotz

Special Previews: Friday Sept 19th, 8pm; Saturday, Sept. 20th, 2pm
OPENING NIGHT: Saturday Sept. 20th, 8PM

Set inside three households of Cheshire, England, this black farce for the 21th century is not to be missed. Lies, blood, racism, suicide, shotguns, sheep shears and table golf are all employed in this well-crafted high-intensity rollercoaster that masterfully softens the bold darkness with effective comedic undertones.

The characters have agreed to hold a "safari party", a common type of dinner party in the UK, where each course is served at a different house. Hors d'oeuvres are served at the home of the young Shellmedine brothers, a pair of quintessential bachelors with English wit, charm, and grand schemes to impress the neighbors and their pretty young daughter. Lol and Esther, a pair that makes even Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia seem laid-back, provide the entrée in their upscale country cottage. But the crème-de-la-crème remains dessert at Igna's, a sweet old antiques dealer with a wicked secret. These three households are not just linked by social standings, but by the significance of an old wood table, which plays the central part of this dark comedy. PST invites the audience to not only see and hear the show, but smell, taste and touch as well.

PST Reading: Cloudburst

2006-05-30T06:51:00.000-04:00

Cloudburst, by Miriam Kainy, is the story of Zibale and Mitzi Schtein who immigrated to Israel after the war. Fifty years later, they must confront the lingering effects of their traumas and losses. Into their life enters an unknown young woman - Anat Levi, who claims to be a reporter trying to write an article about their deceased daughter, Rika Eben, a world famous pianist who died 25 years earlier under mysterious circumstances. The young woman turns out to be more than just a reporter and her investigation into her own past unveils personal and universal truths which Zibale and Mitzi have tried to repress while rebuilding their lives after the Holocaust.

The Eretz Reading Series is made possible by the Consulate General of Israel in NY to perform staged readings of Israeli plays adapted and performed by American and Israeli directors and actors.

Cloudburst is co-presented by Personal Space Theatrics and 14th Street Y.

Performance on Tuesday, May 30, 2006 - 7:00PM
