at the Rattlestick Playwrights Theater, New York, NY
Running Wednesday, April 20 -- Sunday, June 4th

Carson McCullers Talks About Love, a new original work written and performed by Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Suzanne Vega (Tom's Diner, Luka) with music by Ms. Vega and Tony Award-winner Duncan Sheik (Spring Awakening). In Carson McCullers Talks About Love, Suzanne Vega performs the role of Carson McCullers in which the iconic McCullers talks and reminisces about her life, her loves and her art. In trying to explain herself, she must once again wrestle with the demons that have intruded on her from the beginning of her life. Seamlessly moving from spoken work to song and back again, Vega channels McCullers in a way that reveals the meeting of two souls in a single work of art. The show features 16 original songs sung by Ms. Vega who will be accompanied by guitar and piano.

Brilliant! I saw one of the previews, and I wish I could see it again.

The video is so short.... So many good parts were left out!
