WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
With her star on the rise, photographer Carrie Ann inexplicably shuts down at the pinnacle of her career. Lost, and afraid to even pick up a camera, her sudden descent is interrupted by a whirlwind romance with Jeff, a trend analyst who becomes determined to help her move on, even while facing his own dark future. Two-time Drama Desk-nominated playwright Alexander Dinelaris (Red Dog Howls) is quickly being recognized as a stunning new voice in American theater. Film and theater director Will Frears (Omnium Gatherum) brings his discerning eye to this funny and heartbreaking play about a generation paralyzed by fear.

Still Life has much life to it.
I enjoyed STILL LIFE thoroughly. A play by a clever young playwright hitting his stride, if not yet at full speed. No wonder I liked it: my wife lost her dad 2 months ago & this play is written by a writer who had lost his dad and needed to find a purpose in life so he wrote about a photographer who lost her dad & she has to find a purpose in life. She does, as he had: they make art. Clever writing, serious concerns and funny moments. Well staged and well acted. Kudos all around.

The disaffection that many Gen X-ers have for their lives is put under the microscope in Alexander Dinelaris' Still Life, which is getting its world premiere by MCC at the Lucille Lortel Theater. The play centers on Carrie Ann (a captivatingly luminous Sarah Paulson, who seems to simultaneously channel Cynthia Nixon and Sarah Jessica Parker), a photographer with a decidedly dark worldview who is at an emotional and professional crossroads. While the work may not always be completely in focus, in Will Frears' tidy and taut staging, the piece is never anything less than engaging.
Carrie Ann's crisis has been brought on by the death of her father, Theo (Dominic Chianese). Since his passing, [...]
