This is a new play by Jordan Seavey, directed by Scott Elliott and starring Cynthia Nixon, who seems to be everywhere these days, with Taylor Trensch as Naphtali.
Naphtali’s mother, a world-famous performance artist, disappeared suddenly seven years ago. And yet, he sees her everywhere: in the faces of friends, co-workers, the guy he’s flirting with in a dark bar. When his mother returns with few answers and a staggering request, Naphtali is forced to confront what he’s spent years trying to forget.
Art imitates life and consumes it entirely in this funny, deeply human mystery about mothers and sons, coming of age, and coming apart.
The producers need to tell us that “This production contains nudity, sexual situations, strong and graphic language, vaping, discussions of mental illness and the use of illegal substances.” OK, so now we know.
The play will be streamed live on four dates. For those not in the US, there are two matinee performances which allow us in Europe to start watching at a reasonable hour. However, note that the ticket price of $69 is high for a livestream, especially as we can only watch at the time and date we have chosen.
