NYTW's Obie and Lortel award-winning company-in-residence Elevator Repair Service (The Sound and the Fury, The Select, Gatz) crosses theatrical boundaries once again with the remarkable world premiere play FONDLY, COLLETTE RICHLAND by Sibyl Kempson.
This visionary company breaks new ground in its first collaboration with a living playwright - an NYTW Usual Suspect with a singularly inventive new voice. Kempson creates an imaginative world brought to life by ERS's unforgettable ensemble of actors under the direction of ERS Artistic Director John Collins.
While eating a quiet dinner at home, Mr. and Mrs. “Fritz” Fitzhubert (along with an uninvited guest) are summoned through a mysterious tiny door in their living room. On the other side, they find themselves in a phantasmagorical Alpen hotel where forgotten religions seep in through the cracks in the walls. Lost relatives, conniving employees, and chatty society ladies awaken their mysterious ancient selves and lead them on perilous hikes that will leave their lives forever altered.
PERFORMANCE SCHEDULE:
SUNDAY, TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY @ 7 PM
THURSDAY thru SATURDAY @ 8 PM
SATURDAY & SUNDAY @ 2 PM
