The Flea Theater, 20 Thomas St, New York, New York 10007
Todd Solondz, known for his style of dark, thought-provoking, socially conscious satire, makes his theatrical debut at The Flea. In Emma and Max, he turns his critical eye on New Yorkers, exploring the illusions and delusions, hopes and despair of the city’s well-off and worn down. Parenting and marriage, kids and vacation, devastation and survival – the quotidian stuff of life. In his typical fashion, Solondz spares no one and skewers everyone in a play about privilege, race and the intersection of black and white. Solondz is known for films Welcome to the Dollhouse, Happiness, and Wiener-Dog. Tickets start at $15.
