In the Wake
By Lisa Kron
Directed by Leigh Silverman
Saturday, November 13
8:00 p.m.
425 Lafayette Street (just below Astor Place)
It’s Thanksgiving of 2000 and the presidential election still has not been decided. Ellen insists that her friends and family don’t understand how bad the situation really is. But no one -- not her loving partner, Danny, nor the passionate Amy, nor the brutally pragmatic and world-weary Judy -- can make Ellen see the blind spot at the center of her own politics and emotional life. A funny, passionate, and ultimately searing new play that illuminates assumptions that lie at the heart of the American character - and the blind spots that mask us from ourselves.
“It’s really a very intense, funny, delightful journey of one woman’s realization that she might not know everything that she thought she knew, and she might not be as secure as she thought she was...[She] becomes our everywoman, and we’re implicated in this play to think about how we feel as Americans and where we are right now.” –Leigh Silverman, director
“I don’t mean for the play to be about the Bush years, I’m using that period of time to look at bigger questions about the American character in general… If I want to make the political argument, I have to figure out ‘why do we care?’” –Lisa Kron, playwright
