Sight Unseen

By DONALD MARGULIES
Directed by DANIEL DE RAEY
August 29 - October 7, 2007

An American mega-artist travels to England for his first European retrospective and decides to visit his original muse and former lover. The jaded artist, whose work commands astronomical prices, "sight unseen", wants to rediscover the passion and creativity that used to inform his work. But the visit – and a difficult interview with a German art critic who questions his motives as a Jewish artist – sparks an unexpected crisis of identity. Margulies' Obie-winning play plumbs controversial subtexts of race, religion, and belonging, in a show laced with humor and incisive dialogue.

This play contains a small amount of explicit language and nude paintings. Please contact our Box Office at 410.752.2208 should you have questions or concerns.
