| Synopsis: | Woodshed Collective presents the world premiere of The Confidence Man, written by Paul Cohen and inspired by Herman Melville's 1857 novel about a riverboat con man. Performances are on the ship Lilac, a decommissioned U.S. Coast Guard vessel docked on the north side of Pier 40. This description is from the press release: "Woodshed Collective's production of The Confidence Man will be composed of a series of interwoven and simultaneously performed vignettes throughout the ship, and will evoke the whirlwind of both a riverboat journey and the everyday urban chaos of New York City. The audience will have the freedom to explore different elements of the play by choosing what to see and which character's story to follow just as one selects which newspaper stories to read, which YouTube videos to screen, or which online links to click. By allowing audience members to immerse themselves in the experience, the production seeks to blur the line between performer and patron, reclaim confidence in the power of live theater, and leave the lingering impression that the audience members themselves may not be immune to the confidence man's charms or cons. - nytheatre.com | |||||
