“Captive Pilgrim” teaser

 Zero Untitled – NYC’s next offering will arrive in Gotham on May 11, 2018 at an art gallery. Details are still relatively sparse, but the dramedy is written by Anel Carmona (Adios Fjord, Off Broadway; and with ZU: Three Hour Theatre and Unending Repetition, NY versions) and under the direction of NYC director Paul Edwards (Funnyhouse of a Negro, Off Broadway).

Here is the promotional blurb, written by the playwright: Zero Untitled – NYC presents the first stage reading of “Captive Pilgrim”. The Big Apple’s branch of the seasoned Texan company, Zero Untitled, presents the first stage reading of the new play “Captive Pilgrim”, by Anel Carmona. Based on the short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez “I Only Came to Use the Phone”, “Captive Pilgrim” sets us back to 1970s Spain where a woman named Maria mistakenly rides a bus that leads her into inexplicable confusions that will change her life. Directed by Paul Edwards and with a full Hispanic cast, “Captive Pilgrim” deals with the subjects of credibility and mental health from the perspective of both: people who should be believed in and people who should believe. The question is which is which? The reading, followed by a brief Q&A and a small reception, will take place on May 11th at The New Gallery located at 127 Tompkins Avenue, Brooklyn, NY. Admission is free with required RSVP to captivepilgrimtheplay@gmail.com Space is limited.
