Dear Friends,
For the last five years, Synapse has brought to life plays that
engage with the issues that matter most. Our current season continues
that tradition with a timely look at clashing cultures
both at homewith our production of THERE
GOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD in Apriland abroad in the upcoming
American Premiere of Richard Beans hilarious comedy THE
GOD BOTHERERS.
What I love most about this play is its feverish comic energythe
laughs just keep on coming as Bean paints a vivid portrait of an
ethnically-diverse community frantically modernizing as it descends
into chaos. The four characters are all lovable misfits struggling
to make a difference in the world while trying to preserve their
sanity.
Who would have thought it possible to make a comedy about the clash
of Western liberalism and Islamic fundamentalism? Bean succeeds
brilliantly, as legions of London critics and audiences can attest.
It is a great pleasure to have the opportunity to introduce his
voice to New York.
Were extremely grateful for your continuing support and we
look forward to seeing you at the theatre this season.
Happy New Year!
Ginevra Bull
Artistic Director
