The Catamounts are proud to present the regional premiere of GOD’S EAR by Jenny Schwartz, the heartbreakingly and hilariously surreal story of one young couple’s journey through grief, as they struggle to stay afloat in the wake of the death of their son.
Replete with tooth fairies, transvestite flight attendants, and singing barflies, GOD’S EAR examines–with stunning originality–the ways in which language fails us precisely when we need it most.
Said Helen Schwartz of the play in TimeOut New York: “This odd, delicate play…it’s a remarkable event. A rare piece of total theater.”

 

The Three Faces of Doctor Crippen
By Emily Schwartz
Direction by Amanda Berg Wilson

With The Three Faces of Doctor Crippen, Emily Schwartz has written a comic, stylized little piece about Dr. Harvey Crippen, an American homeopath who settled in London with his showgirl bride, Cora — a remarkably irritating and untalented woman. In England he promptly fell in love with his demure secretary, Ethel. When she told him she was pregnant, he decided to poison Cora and cut her into little bits in the bathtub. Then he fled for Canada with Ethel, who was disguised as a boy.
