Four Intimate Screen Encounters (One From Far Away)

The New York Times Critic’s Pick

“You could say each sweet morsel, delivered with charged intimacy in this time of isolation, is like a truffle: small, delicious, refined — and over in an instant. But I like to think of each piece like a ship in a bottle, presenting an exquisite piece of architecture within the narrow confines of the form.” —Maya Phillips

It’s Just You and Me and the Modem in ‘Here We Are’

The New York Times Critic’s Pick

“Enhanced by terrific acting, you feel seen in a way that has been too often absent these six months — and maybe longer. Intimacy in the live theater is always touch-and-go. On display alone in our homes, we are much more seen than usual.” —Jesse Green

The New Yorker

“Moments of gently heightened language took me out of, then put me right back into, the action of the play—and made me feel its artifice while being convinced of its deeper reality, all at once. “ –Vinson Cunningham

Theatre for One Wants You to Sit Up Straight and Pay Attention

New York Magazine/Vulture.com

“You sit up straight and lean in and listen hard….like tensing a muscle we might not get to fully use again until sometime next year.” —Helen Shaw

Theatre for One mounts free solo plays for solo audiences

Time Out New York

“The virtual series offers moving one-on-one theater experiences with live actors. Have the past few months left you starved for human connection and craving a little intimate personal attention? If so, Theatre for One: Here We Are may be just the thing.” —Adam Feldman
