Three Tables

Padua Playwrights presents the world premiere of Three Tables, the newest work from legendary poet/playwright Murray Mednick, a pioneer of New York’s off-off-Broadway movement in the ’60s. Mednick’s trademark use of quick repartee, dark Borscht Belt humor, and meta theatrical references are the underpinnings of a more serious, existential meditation on the advent of tyranny.

Three overlapping conversations take place at three separate tables, the first occupied by a threesome of actors; the second by a trio of friends, also “theater people;” and the third by a pair of waiters, who are probably descendants of Holocaust survivors.
