Life and Times: Episode 1

$12.00 Save $-12.00

This is the first episode of Nature Theater of Oklahoma's decalogue, a portrait of an unremarkable life. An epic narrative along the lines of Marcel Proust's Remembrance of Things Past, Life and Times is a deep map of memory that takes us on a journey into our own forgotten history. The first episode is a musical, using parts of a verbatim transcript of over sixteen hours of recorded telephone conversations as libretto.

The second episode finishes the musical portion of Nature Theater of Oklahoma's epic tale generated from the single simple question, asked of a friend: "Can you tell me your life story?" The Life and Times cycle enjoyed a widely acclaimed run in New York's Under the Radar Festival in January 2013, produced by Soho Rep, New York City.

Parts three and four of Nature Theater of Oklahoma's grand theatrical presentation of an unremarkable life, of which Charles Isherwood of the New York Times wrote, "Entrancing, maddening, heartbreaking, sidesplitting, even, in its humble way, awe-inspiring. . . . An ambitious, brilliantly executed production from one of the most innovative theater companies in New York."

No Dice

Obsessive, persuasive and enduring, Nature Theater has remade the epic form into something newly familiar and contemporary. No Dice is a transcription of the company's four-hour dinner theater event. The dinner is a bologna sandwich and a Dr. Pepper. The theater is made of phone conversations reset into a hyper-energetic physical and vocal register. "A tour de force." -NY Times

No President

A small but successful security company staffed with former actors has been hired to protect a certain precious theater curtain – and whatever mystery it conceals behind it.

But things are about to get out of hand as the guards find themselves infiltrated by a rival security company composed of ex-ballet dancers, who are not only artistically more up to date, but also faster and cheaper, and who want to take over this important gig at any cost.

In the end, as always in this contemporary world – where all conflicts are resolved through violence and cannibalism – life plays its fickle games of friendship, love, betrayal, and finally, we hope, redemption. No President is a story ballet of enlightenment in two immoral acts from the internationally acclaimed Nature Theater of Oklahoma.

Rambo Solo

$14.00 Save $-14.00
Continues Nature Theater's investigation into transcription as epic theater. Zachary Oberzan's exhaustive retelling of David Morrell's First Blood unfurls along a vein of spectacular psychic charge. Simultaneously giving John Rambo's life Homeric form, performing Oberzan's own relationship to the book, and anticipating his planned solo remake of the movie, Rambo Solo obliterates distinctions between the ridiculous and the redemptive.
