Did you see MARIE ANTOINETTE during JAW this past year? Well if you did not, you can still make up for it by attending NOW HEAR THIS on March 29th at noon. This month we are reading THE EVILDOERS by the same guy who wrote MARIE ANTOINETTE…the oh so talented David Adjmi…and cute right? David has a devastating ear for dialogue and an uncanny ability with genre. See below for more details. I hope to see you there. I think this play, with its arresting wit and violence, is a dark gem.

—————————–
Described by one critic as “a culmination of the last four centuries of theater,” The Evildoers runs the gamut of theatrical forms from Jacobean tragedy to drawing-room comedy. Not for the faint of heart, Adjmi’s Carol and Jerry and Martin and Judy make Albee’s George and Martha look like Sunday School teachers. Be forewarned: the only thing nastier than their tart tongues and their violent actions is their politics.
DAVID ADJMI’s plays include Strange Attractors, The Evildoers, Elective Affinities, Marie Antoinette and Caligula. David’s work has been developed and produced at the Sundance Theatre Lab, Manhattan Theatre Club, NYTW,
