  • Danielle Wirsansky: LEAR, INTERRUPTED by Audrey Cefaly
    “

    Devastating, funny, and fiercely theatrical, Lear, Interrupted is a love letter and eulogy for the American theatre. Cefaly gives one actor a storm of grief, wit, and reckoning, making collapse feel intimate, epic, and painfully alive.

    “

    Jewish Plays Project selected a ten-minute section (called "Still, We Obey") from this full length piece LEAR, INTERRUPTED as a Semi-Finalist out of 270 plays in our 2nd Ten Minute Play Contest “On One Foot”, which searched nationally from artists of all backgrounds to respond to our prompt “Moving Forward at the Edge of the Unknown". Our readers connected with the question of what is reality and what is charade, and how does theatre move forward (or not) in this moment.

    Absolutely fantastic. A true modern-day king Lear.

    Wow. This is the kind of short, stinging, perfectly pointed play that, for those who've given their lives to the theater (like its agonized protagonist) will make you want to read out loud to whoever is nearest, but then struggle to get through it without laughing though the funniest lines or choking up on the truest ones. There are observations here that I've felt but never seen uttered so clearly. 'Lear, Interrupted' is devastating and gorgeous. What a meal it would be for the right actor.
