The Day On Which A Man Dies presented by 773-327-7077 at National Pastime Theater

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...The script is equal parts indiscriminate excess and crafty restraint, but Kaplan orchestrates Williams's warring rhythms into a bracing, thought-provoking 70-minute ritual. Jennie Moreau is mesmerizing as the addled, high-strung mistress."

Windy City Times - Recommended

"...Action painting, by its very method, encourages extravagant behavior, and under David Kaplan's direction, Jeff Christian acts up a visceral storm in the role of the distressed artist whose alcohol-fueled despair is a stark contrast to the prim composure of Jennie Moreau's consort and the wry detachment of Gerson Dacanay's Asian host."

"...Williams was strongly influenced when his friend, Jackson Pollack and his Japanese writer friend Yukio Mishima both committed “inspirational” suicides. This play demonstrates Williams’ deep haunting from his friends untimely deaths. He deftly explores the frenzied hunt an artist makes while trying to find new means of expression. David Kaplan’s production is deep, haunting and most disturbing while capturing the essence of Noh drama and Gutai practices. It is a fantasia on the demise of Jackson Pollack. It is like no other Tennessee Williams play I’ve witnessed. It is worth seeing."
