WHEN
April 2-12 / May 27-30 / June 20-24, 2025
Theater
July 23-26, 2026
Written, directed and designed by John Jesurun. Staged in an intimate apartment setting. Jesurun’s cast navigates the clandestine personas of four operatives working from the confines of an anonymous West Village maisonette. They negotiate a verbal and perceptual minefield of enciphered meanings and interpretations that leave them implicated in the dismantling of their own actuality.
Obie and MacArthur winning playwright John Jesurun is acknowledged for creating virtuoso works that overlap media and language in innovative and unpredictable ways. As a writer, director and designer he has created unique forms of narrative that capture the dislocation and anxiety of contemporary life in real, virtual, and performance spaces. His exploded narratives cover a wide range of themes and explore the relation of form to content. They challenge the experience of verbal, visual, and intangible perceptions.
