Marathon

The People’s Theater presents Edoardo Erba’s Marathon, originally produced at the Stoneham Theatre in Massachusetts. This story of two men training for the New York Marathon places two actors on stage who run in place throughout the entire play. Their conversation explores friendship and self-awareness as well as a healthy dose of ego-busting competitiveness. A surprise twist at the end reveals a unique perspective by one of the pair that illustrates the personal journey we each face.
