The Northeast Theatre Presents TIME. TIMING. TIMELESS. - Two evenings of comedy by David Ives

February 12, 2008

Five Actors, Ten Plays, Two Evenings

David Ives is a very funny man. He writes plays that have been variously called brilliant, dazzling, hilarious, and intellectually rare. But what director Mary Ethel Schmidt has found as she approached The Northeast Theatre’s mini-festival of Ives’ work entitled Time.Timing.Timeless. is that the ten plays included in this two-evening series are also very moving. “They fall into three types,” she explains, “journeys of intense yearning, statements of profound goodness, and examples of the delirium that results from being trapped by language.” The overall effect of these evenings is the message that human beings are good and that the human spirit perseveres though all the boundaries we set for ourselves, ultimately to find love. Time.Timing.Timeless. begins previews at Performance Space at the Hotel Jermyn on February 27, and will play with Shows A & B alternating Wednesdays through Sundays through March 16.
