WET's Got a New Play Opening This Week

Capitol Hill's trend-setting WET theater ensemble has a handy flyer about it stapled to telephone poles up and down 15th Avenue. But for those of you outside of flyer range, the play is called Gods Ear: (presumably as in, "From your mouth to..."). By Jenny Schwartz, the play was summed up in the august pages of the New York Times thusly: "a formally inventive and superbly performed drama about how the death of a son shatters a family, this ode to love, loss and the routines of life has the economy and dry wit of a Sondheim love song." It's a language play, which means that you'd better damn well enjoy listening to people speak. It opens Thursday, and runs (Thurs-Mon) through November 10.
