$20: Drunken With What
February 11th – 28th
Target Margin Theater, Abrons Arts Center, Lower East Side
With DRUNKEN WITH WHAT, Target Margin Theater launches a two-season exploration of Eugene O’Neill. Who was he? Genius, blowhard, giant of the imagination, ham-fisted avatar of pseudo-psychology, geographer of the human spirit, was he drunk on art or just drunk? Directed by David Herskovits, DRUNKEN WITH WHAT is the first in a series of unpredictable and intoxicating studies of O’Neill’s epic trilogy Mourning Becomes Electra.
Use code DRUNKTMT for $20 tickets to all performances (regular $30).
$9 or $20
: PericlesFebruary 14th – March 4th
Pericles tells a surging adventure story—a hero wanders Odysseus-like through the world of the Mediterranean—and climaxes with events that are seemingly miraculous.
An original score composed by Tony-nominated Shaun Davey helps convey the mystery and magic of this tale of redemption, reconciliation, and forgiveness. The acclaimed story-teller musicians of PigPen Theatre Co. lend their voices and instrumentation to the production, playing Mr. Davey’s score and performing various roles throughout.
