Coffeehouse Chronicles #132: Jim Neu

Jim Neu’s work as a writer was an important part of Downtown New York theater since the late 1970s. In works ranging from monologues and one-act dialogues to full-length plays and dance/text collaborations with major choreographers, his style and sound are instantly recognizable. Since beginning a long relationship with Ellen Stewart and La MaMa in 1991, most of his work originated there. His last play, Gang of Seven (2008), was his tenth play at La MaMa.
