COME SEE 'THE MOST ABSORBING PLAY OF THE SEASON': JUMP/CUT

Come see the New York Premiere of a fabulous play, written by my brilliant colleague/friend, Neena Beber.
WHEN:
February 1st – February 26th
REVIEWS:
Washington Post,,,, calls this play "the most absorbing new play of the season," playwright Neena Beber tackles the ultimate reality film in JUMP/CUT. Aspiring director Paul (Thomas Sadoski, Reckless), his girlfriend Karen (Michi Barall), and his lifelong buddy Dave (Luke Kirby, "Slings & Arrows", Mambo Italiano) embark on a filmmaking adventure that captures the complications of the human heart and the ethics of ambition. JUMP/CUT is a darkly humorous drama that puts obsessions, betrayals, and Steely Dan into the line of focus.
New York Times says...The playwright Neena Beber has met two extraordinary challenges in "Jump/Cut," a Women's Project production that opened at the Julia Miles Theater on Sunday night. She has made a play that, like Frederic Wiseman's documentary films, refuses to impose dramatic coherence on life. Something happens, or doesn't; causality and resolution remain hard to find, yet the assembled fragments accumulate an unforgettable power. And she has made a play about despair that does not leave an audience desperate. Instead, it is left exhilarated by the fierce beauty of her writing and by an utterly captivating performance by Luke Kirby as Dave, the brilliant young manic-depressive whose circular, inescapable fate is the central mystery of the work.
Julia Miles Theater, 424 West 55th Street;(212) 239-6200.
