Other PeoplePresented by: Mutual Friends Co-op in collaboration with Mercedes Grundy
"Other People" a play by Christopher Shinn, directed by Aaron Willis
Mutual Friends Co-op, in collaboration with Mercedes Grundy, is proud to present the Canadian Premiere of OTHER PEOPLE by Christopher Shinn in a limited run, January 18-28, 2012.
Starring Tatiana Maslany, Ben Lewis, Indrit Kasapi, Mike McPhaden, Brendan McMurtry-Howlett and Richard Lee.
Presented at the beautiful TANK HOUSE Theatre at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts in the Distillery Historic District, OTHER PEOPLE tells the story of three ambitious young New Yorkers who struggle with sex, desire and their art over Christmas in the East Village. Stephen is a frustrated “blurb writer” and aspiring playwright waiting to hear about a grant. Petra is Stephen’s roommate, a wannabe writer who has recently returned from working as a stripper in Japan. Mark is Stephen’s ex, a successful screenwriter fresh out of rehab, now a born again Christian crashing on Stephen and Petra’s couch, struggling with his attraction to a mysterious young hustler named Tan. What ensues is a heartfelt and hilarious look at love, sex and friendship, the struggle to connect and the struggle to make art.
