The New Yorker has an article by John Lahr about Wallace Shawn's new play Grasses of a Thousand Colors, now playing under the direction of Andre Gregory at London's Royal Court Theater. I hope it comes to New York.Many years ago I was fortunate enough to see Shawn in his play The Designated Mourner, also directed by Andre Gregory. It was produced in an abandoned men's club near the South Street Seaport. The audience was limited to 30 each night, and each act was staged in a separate room of the building; the first in a dining room, the second in a raquetball court. It was one of the most amazing nights of theater I have had the priviledge to attend.
Some might remember Shawn from his recurring role on Gossip Girl, on the occasion of which the NYTimes published this article by Dave Itzkoff.
