Story:
Hailed as The Best Play in the English Language, HAMLET is the quintessential Revenger's Tragedy of an unlikely hero, unearthing the story behind his father's sudden death. Stoppard's classic (and hilarious) treatise on existentialism,Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" is a worm's-eye view of the tale of Hamlet from Shakespeare's own Beavis and Butthead.
Which version is reality? Which one is a dream? With 1 united cast of 12 actors taking the same roles in both plays, come experience both sides of this classic story in the daring ensemble-driven manner that's made The Seeing Place a fixture in the NY indie theater scene.

Productions are rehearsed in a structured, organic manner, involving heavy script analysis and improvisation. Emphasis is placed on elements of acting craft, allowing actors the freedom to discover the story with the audience on a nightly basis.

PREVIOUS ACCLAIM:
Treefall opened to critical acclaim in Los Angeles, where it made LA Weekly's Best Theater of 2009 List. LA Weekly cited that "Treefall is grimy, primal, heady, despondent yet inexplicably giddy-making for the sheer truth of the ache in its heart." The Los Angeles Times reported that Treefall's, "edgy, end-of-the-world vibe effectively drives home its cautionary message about the environmental legacy we're neglectfully creating for future generations."

About the show: A man and a woman, both lonely outcasts, meet in a bar - in desperate need of a change. He is violent and possibly homicidal, she is tormented and possibly suicidal; each is transformed by the love of the other. The New York Times suggested the play would be more appropriately titled, "The Beast and the Beast". If so, this is the story of two beasts fighting to accept beauty into their lives. "One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love." - Sophocles

About the Company: The Seeing Place Theater
The Seeing Place Theater is an actor-driven ensemble known for its intense and intimate work. We are forcefully committed to:
THE ACTOR'S PROCESS: Through robust table work and improvisation, we focus on honoring the actor's artistry in creating a character and building a story, which extends from rehearsal into performance.
ORGANIC STORYTELLING:Unlike other companies, we do not set staging (blocking) or cement our choices in advance. What audiences see is a group of actors "in the moment" - working off one another to tell a fresh story that is never the same night to night.
The Seeing Place Theater, known for intensely intimate ensemble work, brings you Harold Pinter’s "bizarre theatrical evening" of lust, cunning, and costumes.
How far will you go to spice up your marriage? Do you need to go outside of it to get the fulfillment you need? And what happens when you cross the line? In Pinter's quintessential dark and stormy bedroom farce, he examines a husband, a wife, her lover, and the coping mechanisms people use to survive the seven year itch.
Performances run July 27 - August 12, 2012 Wednesday-Saturday at 7:00pm and Saturday & Sunday @ 2:00pm.
Be sure to see this show's companion piece, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, performed by the same actors and same creative team in true ensemble repertory. Both shows are $12 each, or see the complete event for only $20 (save $4) For tickets visit www.smarttix.com or call 212-868-4444.
The Lover is directed by Ariel Francoeur, and stars Erin Cronican, Brandon Walker, and Ned Baker Lynch.
