Special event preview: Try! Try! Twice!
With huge thanks to Tony Torn and Lee Ann Brown, our symposium will be preceded on the evening of Friday 27th October, 7-8.30pm, by a performance of Frank O'Hara's short play Try! Try! at Torn Page in Chelsea. Try! Try! Twice! stages two versions of the play back-to-back, accounting for the 1951 version, inspired by O'Hara's friendships with Violet Lang and John Ashbery, and the 1953 rewrite, informed by his intimate relationship and artistic collaboration with painter and set designer Larry Rivers. This production presents both plays back to back with identical casts navigating the tonal shift from 1951's surreal Sirk-ian melodrama to 1953's screwball sex comedy, much like Rock Hudson would navigate from the world of a film like Magnificent Obsession to that of Pillow Talk.
Featuring Lee Ann Brown, Emmitt Joe George and Tony Torn. Directed by Tony Torn. Poster image from Noah Saterstrom's portrait of Frank O'Hara.
