GORILLA
USA premiere June 2013
Lion Theatre (Theater Row), New York City
Five top male managers meet in their company’s country lodge, to complete what they think is a weekend workshop focusing on team building and gender related issues run by the company’s female coach. Instead, they are confronted with their team’s poor financial results. When an unexpected visitor shows up they are slowly forced to see that the greed and personal ambitions have driven some of them to this devastating dead-end in their career and private lives.

“Gorilla held my interest from start to finish in it’s exploration of the inherent conflicts when vulnerable humans attempt to be inhuman corporate drones.”
Theater is Easy, Adrienne Urbanski
“This is a satisfying piece of theater, with a story that gets you somewhere – even if, as the lights fade to black, you’re not exactly sure where you’ve ended up.”
NYC Theater Review R.L. Brody, 2013
“This is a beautifully crafted production in all aspects”
