 House for Sale         Tom Ryan Thinks He's James Mason. . .

House for Sale

Synopsis:
Daniel Fish has adapted Franzens essay (from the collection The Discomfort Zone) for the stage and will direct. House for Sale follows Franzen as he travels to his childhood home in Missouri to sell the family house following his mothers death. Beset by memory and feeling a keen burden to sell the property for a price his exacting mother would accept, Franzen purges the home of personal artifacts, unearths hidden mini-treasures, and selects the realtor who will sell this reliquary of family memories. Exploring ideas of change, loss, and the value of the quintessential American Dream, House for Sale is a daring exploration of the merging of art forms as well as an examination of the very essence of the human condition.

Tom Ryan Thinks He's James Mason. . .

Synopsis:
The full title of this new performance work by Daniel Fish is: Tom Ryan Thinks He's James Mason Starring in a Movie By Nicholas Ray in which a Man's Illness Provides an Escape from the Pain, Pressure and Loneliness of Trying to be the Ultimate American Father, Only to Drive Him Further Into the More Thrilling Though Possibly Lonelier Roles of addict and Misunderstood Visionary. Inspired by mid-century Hollywood melodrama, specifically the films of Nicholas Ray and Douglas Sirk, this work re-imagines the genre to explore the pain, pressure and isolation of America's addiction to heroism. Through the intimate story of one man's struggle against society's conventional demands, it depicts a family and a nation coming apart at the seamsa people that aspire to heroism only to become beastly.
