Rambo Solo

Synopsis:
Nature theater of Oklahoma's actor Zachary Oberzan has had a deep connection with the story of Rambo: First Blood since he was a boy of ten. He first saw the Hollywood blockbuster during one magical weekend spent watching free HBO. He knows the story by heart-but can he navigate all the perilous twists and turns of his own obsession with it? Set in the dark heart of Zack's tiny New York studio apartment, Rambo Solo follows one man's private passion to its limits, as he struggles to re-enact the entire First Blood story in all its sweaty Dramatic detail. Re-inventing Soho Rep's space, Rambo Solo takes us into Zack's world as he attempts to create a better movie version of the book-in his 250-square-foot studio apartment and with a budget of $100. Counterpointing video, audio and the actor himself, Rambo Solo follows Zack's mighty struggle to tell a simple story

Romeo And Juliet

Synopsis:
This one-of-a-kind performance is the result of a series of phone calls to people who were asked to tell, in their own words, the story of Romeo and Juliet from beginning to end. With some rather surprising twists and turns, given that no one seems to remember the exact plot, the myriad versions of the story compound in an array of competing scenarios. the participants try to invent themselves out of their own narrative blind alleys. Where memory fails, a kind of necessary creativity steps in to fill the void. What we are left with is a highly personal and original series of the famous story, infused with emotion and thoughts about love, need, and the complex nature of self-sacrifice.
