This month’s Off Broadway offerings spotlight unique performances, from Jeff Hiller’s role in 'Urinetown' to the poignant puppet play 'Anywhere at Here.' The latter blends classic literature with engaging ice puppetry to tell the story of Oedipus and Antigone. Philip W. Chung's new play about Toraichi Kono, involving themes of espionage and internment during WWII, also draws attention. Each production promises innovative artistic expressions and resonant narratives, appealing to tradition-steeped and contemporary audiences alike, ensuring enriching theatrical experiences.
Winkingly Brechtian, with echoes of Ibsen's An Enemy of the People, 'Urinetown' is set in a dystopia where private toilets are illegal and public facilities charge for use.
Theatre de l'Entrouvert's 'Anywhere at Here' features a melting, disappearing Oedipus accompanied by his daughter Antigone, exploring themes of ephemerality with ice puppets.
Philip W. Chung's play follows Toraichi Kono, Charlie Chaplin's assistant, navigating suspicion and internment during WWII, highlighting his struggles amid historical events.
