Performances of "The Man Who" begin Thursday, Nov. 6.[/caption]
UW-L's Department of Theatre Arts will present Peter Brook’s "The Man Who," a piece of work that explores another’s world contained in the mind, beginning Thursday, Nov. 6, in Frederick Theatre, lower level Morris Hall. Tickets are now on sale.
Show times are 7:30 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 6-8; and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9.
"The Man Who" examines attempts to understand the working of the brain through the use of episodic doctor/patient scenarios. The play delves into the inner constructs of the mind and reveals how little is really known about the muscle, how truly unique each brain is, and how incredibly different others see the world. Inspired by Oliver Sacks’ neurological study "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat," "The Man Who" reveals the lives of people afflicted with fantastic perceptual and intellectual abnormalities including memory loss, violent tics and outbursts, and the inability to recognize people and common objects.
Peter Brook’s "The Man Who" is a new theatrical work that has been called the most vast and mysterious exploration of the mind — and possibly the soul — ever to be attempted on the stage. It is funny, inspiring, desperate and heroic.
Tickets go on sale at 1 p.m. Monday, Nov. 3. Box office hours are 1 to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays, and one hour before show times.
