WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
59E59 Theaters presents the NYC premiere of The Pillow Book, by Anna Moench and directed by David F. Chapman.
Deb and John are married. Deb and John are strangers. Deb saves John's life on a mountain. John blinds Deb on the Serengeti. John works at an office. John works at a different office. Deb is a doctor, or an exterminator.
The Pillow Book is a journey through the real, the imagined, the impossible, and the parallel--because who you were when you got married might not be who you are now.

While Moench gives signs she can compose credible dialogue and even has meaningful insights into the complexities of human relationships, in this intermissionless 80-minute exercise, she's obscured these signs by couching them in a calculatedly ambiguous -- and therefore precious and pretentious -- context.
John (Eric Bryant) and Deb (Julie Fitzpatrick) are a [...]
