WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
A forgotten chorus boy (David Greenspan) from the theater of Ancient Greece, stuck in a lonely purgatory these past 2000 years, is sent back to earth on a mission from God. He now finds himself among a vacationing family in the Hamptons, caught off-guard by his re-discovered ability to feel love. Go Back To Where You Are is a melancholy comic romance, told with Greenspan's unique brand of theatrical wit and exquisite lyricism.

Hilarious and deeply moving
I urge anyone who hasnt seen this wonderful play - which despite its brevity carries real substance - to go while they still can. Its literally both an other-worldly and immediate piece of theatre. David Greenspans talent as a playwright and an actor spins hilarious and heartbreaking gold from the simple stage, and every member of the cast gleams with him.

Playwright and star David Greenspan's latest work, Go Back to Where You Are, at Playwrights Horizons, is a delightfully giddy show that is equal parts love story and metatheatrical exercise. Director Leigh Silverman briskly stages this 70-minute romp, which has been brought to life by a pitch-perfect cast.
Greenspan portrays Passalus, a chorus boy from Ancient Greece who has been languishing in hell as a demon for centuries, but is given a new lease on life by God (Tim Hopper), who sends him back to Earth on a mission involving a woman named Carolyn -- who is often mentioned in the play, but never appears. We never really find out why God has singled Carolyn out for special attention, but [...]
