“Hunting and Gathering” reviews continued

Posted February 4, 2008 by Frederik

Michael Chernus, Mamie Gummer, Keira Naughton and Jeremy Shamos star in the Primary Stages world-premiere run of Brooke Berman’s Hunting and Gathering, which officially opens Off-Broadway Feb. 3. Leigh Silverman directs the production, which began previews Jan. 22. The run is scheduled to play through March 1. From the writer of Smashing comes this new play that “follows four interconnected New Yorkers through their thwarted attempts to find a place – without compromise,” as show notes reveal. “Jesse has his first date since his divorce, his ex-lover Ruth is living a fantasy, his brother Astor is the ‘man with the van,’ and Bess has a plan to come out on top.” “We are thrilled to begin the new year with the world premiere of this exciting new play by Brooke Berman that incorporates original music by some of New York’s up-and coming rock bands,” said Primary Stages artistic director Andrew Leynse in a previous statement.
