January 24 to February 22, 2003

Libby, technically speaking a nervous wreck, gives a dinner party. We meet the guests in their respective apartments as they prepare to go to Libby's. There is Tom, whose ingenuity in terms of composing remains unknown even to his girl-friend. Emily hates to talk about what she hates to do: her job. The lesbian couple Alice and Boo would prefer to be in Italy rather than at a dinner party. Alice, a famous writer, is not sophisticated enough not to brag with her sophistication; Boo is too drunk to make an intelligent impression. Then there is Griever, a bloodthirsty would-be actor, and, last, but definitely not least, taciturn Norbert, who loves to throw people out of airplanes.

The strangers at the party talk, but they do not seem to communicate with each other. Blue Window presents a collage that manages to combine an Italian opera aria and a piano solo by jazz pianist Cecil Taylor, a passage from Virginia Woolf and game shows, Hermann Hesse and family therapy, sky-diving and Eugene O'Neill, Buster Keaton and Descartes - all mixed in a bowl of punch.

One critic called Blue Window "a marvel, an intricate and quiet piece that never stops surprising you, with passion and terror and a rich panoply of ideas hidden just under its glossy, soft-spoken surface." The play does not present a story; it rather provides numerous clues for numerous stories. Blue Window takes place in spaces between words, capturing evanescent yearnings that can't be articulated, thus conveying elusive moods beneath the dialogue.

The scenes these shows share will be performed identically in each
play-the same stage, actors, and blocking. How can the comedy and tragedy
work when they must share identical scenes? The result will be
provocative.

Thursday through Sunday at 8pm
