Theater This Week: Three Solo Men, Two Green Children, and Some Singing Communists

Finally, the Gothamist pick this week is Wolfpit, by poet and playwright Glyn Maxwell. Phoenix Theater Ensemble presented Maxwell’s Broken Journey last fall, and we gave it an overall favorable review. This play looks even more striking: it dramatizes the legend of two children, green all over, who are said to have descended upon an English village in the twelfth century and completely shaken the community with their essentially alien presence.

Maxwell is a wonderful writer and this kind of tale is well-matched to his particular strengths, so we have every reason to expect that this will be a thoroughly mesmerizing production.
