On a subway line that spans an unnamed metropolis, a fiery malcontent with an array of axes to grind treats his fellow passengers to lengthy harangues. He calls out the passengers on what he perceives be their postures, pretensions, and attempts to deceive themselves and others. He brings substantial wit and eloquence to his jeremiads. Each subway stop brings a new influx of passengers and new grist for the mill.
Eventually, though, a passenger boards the train who seems ready to give the subway agitator a taste of his own medicine. The award-winning playwright and novelist Peter Handke’s play takes us on a ride through an underground of unmet expectations and summary judgments, and confronts us with costs of the grievances that we harbor.
$1 validated parking (for events only) on weekdays after 6:00 pm and all day on weekends in the Wilshire Courtyard West underground garage-P1.
