Yale Alumni of all Classes,
The Class of '87 is hosting a general Yale Alumni event, Friday
June 14, in New York: a night during previews of a spellbinding Off Broadway
play. There's an optional prix fixe pre-show
dinner. We'll also go out for post-show drinks.
One of the play's lead producers is a Yale graduate, Jim Landé
Y'87, who arranged a Friends & Family ticket discount and will do a short
Q&A on the production.

Tennessee
Williams' The Two-Character Play at New World Stages Off Broadway

The
Stars
Amanda
Plummer and Brad Dourif
unite their white-hot talents in the long-overdue Off Broadway production of
Tennessee Williams' rarely performed masterpiece, THE TWO-CHARACTER PLAY. (Tony award-winner Amanda will be seen soon as
Wiress in Hunger Games: Catching Fire,
and was Honey Bunny in Pulp Fiction.
Oscar nominee Brad is Gríma Wormtounge in Lord
Of The Rings, Billy Bibbitt in One
Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, and Chucky's voice in the Child's Play series.)
Synopsis
Reality and fantasy are interwoven with terrifying power as
two actors on tour—brother and sister—find themselves deserted by their troupe.
Faced by an audience expecting a performance, they enact The Two-Character
Play. As they dip in and out of performance they find it difficult to
differentiate themselves from their roles and reality from illusion. Equal
parts Southern Gothic thriller, black comedy and psychological drama, it is a
marked innovation from Williams’ earlier works, one he says was "my most
beautiful play since Streetcar."
