Bartleby the Scrivener
2257 N Lincoln Avenue Chicago
What happens when your best worker becomes your worst nightmare? That's the simple yet ultimately ingenious premise behind Herman Melville's celebrated novella, Bartleby the Scrivener, which takes on new life in this original stage adaptation from Organic Theater Company. With five simple words, "I would prefer not to," the mysterious Bartleby wreaks havoc in an orderly New York law office, forcing his weak-willed boss into increasingly futile attempts to make him get back to work -- or get rid of him altogether. Adapted for the stage by Organic Theater's Producing Artistic Director, Alexander Gelman, Bartleby the Scrivener is absurdist theater at its funniest and most poignant.
