World Premiere
CLIVE
By Jonathan Marc Sherman
Directed by Ethan Hawke
with Brooks Ashmanskas, Vincent D'Onofrio, Ethan Hawke, Zoe
Kazan, and more
Inspired by Bertolt Brecht's inflammatory play Baal, Clive
tracks a dissipated songwriter in 1990s New York City from the hedonistic
heights of seduction and consumption into an ecstasy of self-destruction. This
production reunites Jonathan Marc Sherman and Ethan Hawke, who teamed
previously at The New Group on Things We Want (written by Sherman, directed by
Hawke). At once a celebration and a nightmare vision of life lived for
pleasure, Clive boasts an eclectic selection of classic American songs performed
live.

Please tell me that you will be filming one evenings production and then selling the DVD's. It would make a huge fan from Germany very happy and countless others who would not be able to get to NY to watch this play.
