Read Synopsis

Elevator Repair Service completes its staging of a trilogy of classic American works with The Select ( The Sun Also Rises), a staging of Ernest Hemingway’s novel. A stage littered with liquor bottles and cafe chairs transforms seamlessly from Paris cafes to Pamplona streets. After their highly acclaimed adaptations of The Great Gatsby and The Sound and the Fury, ERS turns its sights on Hemingway’s alcohol-soaked expatriates in this world premiere that features the ensemble’s trademark sound design and highly energized choreography. Hemingway’s dry wit, a doomed romance and even live bullfighting (as re-imagined by ERS) make this a compelling conclusion to ERS’ exploration of modernist American literature of the 1920’s.
