Actors David Soul, Ian Hart, Madeline Potter, Rhashan Stone, Emily Bruni, and Damien Molony, accompanied by violin virtuoso Lizzie Ball, illuminate Orner’s emotionally rich, stunning and deeply moving array of shorter-than-short stories.
From California to Chicago and from Massachusetts to Southern Africa, Orner brilliantly captures the human experience through the cast of characters whom he brings to life in these singular and universally felt vignettes.
Full of wisdom, beauty, humour and surprises, Orner’s literary gems have been published in Granta, Paris Review, The New York Times, The Atlantic Monthly, and McSweeney’s. His recent collection, Maggie Brown & Others, is a composite portrait of what it’s like to be a person in the world and the heaviness and lightness that makes up a life. It will be published by Little, Brown and Company this summer. The author will be present.
Produced and directed by WordTheatre® Artistic Director, Cedering Fox.
Did any lucky fans out there see Damien at this WordTheatre event?
Sounds like Damien knocked it out of the park!
I've been looking to see if there any photos, and always hope for recordings...
@DMolonyForum simply killed it tonight in London, along with other remarkable actors, Emily Bruni, David Soul, Rhashan Stone, Madeleine Potter, and Ian Hart. Lizzie Ball on violin. Honored by their incredible performances of stories from Maggie Brown & Others. @littlebrownhttps://t.co/64FUKHeAA5
