WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The Vineyard Theatre presents the world premiere of Davey Holmes' new play, More Lies About Jerzy. The drama explores the circumstances surrounding the mysterious life of a celebrated novelist whose award-winning memoir of the Holocaust comes into question for accuracy and truthfulness. It's a meditation on an artist's responsibility to his subjects and himself, and offers a fascinating look at the seductive powers of fame and celebrity. Darko Tresnjak directs.
