Bone Songs

By André Gregory

"To describe Andr 's contribution as a theatre artist] gets into something which is enormously intangible. His greatest accomplishments are really in the realm of human insight and psychological truth." --Wallace Shawn

Bone Songs is a meditation on the journey of marriage and the meaning of one's long life, by acclaimed avant-garde theatre director Andr Gregory. Loosely based on Solomon's Song of Songs, it takes the shape of a passionate conversation with the artist's late wife. Gregory performs Bone Songs as a kind of "After Dinner with Andr ," weaving together his own personal anecdotes with the journey of five characters on a cruise to Antarctica: a young couple honeymooning, a middle-aged couple dealing with illness and an old man returning after the death of his wife. The signature performances sold out in Los Angeles and will debut this season in New York.
