Edward Albee’s Occupant
November 4-20, Friday’s/Saturday’s 8pm, Sunday’s 5pm
The play, Edward Albee’s Occupant, celebrates the mysterious force of will that allows great artists to be. The play reveals, with an achingly personal tone, the truly supernatural phenomenon, the uncanny and ultimately inexplicable self-determination that propelled the slow and unlikely ascent of Louise Nevelson (1899-1988) into the upper (and predominantly male) regions of the New York art world.
Set in an imagined dimension where Louise is being interviewed long after her death, the play salutes Albee’s good friend and, perhaps, expresses the playwright’s personal concerns about his own legacy as a popular cultural figure. The play establishes in the first few lines that, no matter how dynamic in life, one’s imprint on community and culture – one’s place in history – is inevitably altered with the passage of time.
