Atlantic Stage 2
330 West 16th Street, New York City, NY 10011
Atlantic’s final 2014/2015 season production is an intimate revival of two haunting short plays by David Mamet our co-founder and one of America’s most influential dramatists, directed by Ensemble member Scott Zigler (Broadway’s The Old Neighborhood).

The Shawl is the story of a bereaved woman who consults a small-time mystic for guidance. As the mystic collects clues to make contact with the dearly departed, will he help this woman through her grief, or merely help himself?

In Prairie du Chien, a railroad car speeding through the Wisconsin night is the setting for a story of obsessive jealousy, murder and suicide, punctuated by a friendly card game that explodes into a moment of menace
