“The famously
venturesome ERS brings a sanity, humility and theatrical ingenuity
to their interpretation that illuminates the clarity with the
apparent chaos. ERS has provided a magical opportunity: the
chance to rediscover some of the thrill that came with encountering
and gradually embracing one of the great achievements of western
literature for the first time” – Ben Brantley, NY Times

“If you
see Elevator Repair Service’s utterly original version of the
book’s first chapter, you will learn to see theater, and might
quit going. ERS’s production is that pure—a stunning act of
choreographed literary transmutation that still retains a humble,
goofy sense of humor in its deep reading of a dense modernist
text.” – David Cote, Time Out NY

essential New York secrets
November 1-7, 2007
New York
Theatre Workshop
WHY ESSENTIAL: Year after year, NYTW proves itself to be the
one theater in this town with a consistently international and
avant-garde sense of programming (see The
Misanthrope). This December, it
will welcome Mikhail Baryshnikov in short plays by Samuel Beckett,
directed by experimental legend JoAnne Akalaitis. And in the
spring, it's a real coup: the Off Broadway premiere of Elevator
Repair Service. If NYTW ever closed its doors, the city's theater
would be more Podunk than it already seems.
THE SECRET: In 1968, Bruce Mailman
and his partner Albert Poland, two significant figures in the
burgeoning Off-Off Broadway arena, purchased the warehouse at
79 East 4th Street. That year actor Julie Bovasso named Mailman's
new theater the "Truck and Warehouse" - truck
because it used to be a garage. The surprisingly large space
looks much the same today as when the first audience walked
in: exposed brick walls, prominent lighting grid, a very broad
stage and red cimema seats.
The name, however, did not stick.
