FROM THE PRODUCING DIRECTOR
WELCOME TO THE GEFFEN PLAYHOUSE IT IS WITH GREAT EXCITEMENT THAT WE WELCOME ED HARRIS to the Geffen Playhouse as he reprises his critically acclaimed role in Neil LaBute’s Wrecks. We have had the pleasure of working with Neil on numerous occasions both as a playwright and a director. From Fat Pig to Some Girls and now with Wrecks, he runs the gamut of human emotion and as the audience, we take a wild ride within the male psyche. Returning with Neil is his stellar design team - Scenic Designer Sibyl Wickersheimer, Lighting Designer Lap Chi Chu, Costume Designer Lynette Meyer and Sound Designer Cricket S. Myers. For Wrecks they have been charged with creating an intimate and formal space in which one man can divulge his innermost feelings about the recent death of his wife. As he slips out for a smoke, we are offered a revealing and moving account of a love story without limitations. As always, LaBute weaves a narrative that illuminates, stimulates and captivates and in this role, Ed Harris mesmerizes us as only an actor of his depth and power can. In the designing and building of the Audrey Skirball Kenis theater at the Geffen Playhouse these are the very sort of projects we envisioned here. This is a personal tale that is much better served in an intimate space and with the confluence of actor, writer, director, designers and theater we believe we have created a truly original evening of theater. We are so glad to have you be a part of it. See you at the theater,
