CORSETLESS
 "Action is eloquence."--Corialanus III.ii.76

Catherine Eaton weaves together Shakespearean text from across the entire canon to create this innovative one woman play in four movements.

She tells the story of Olivia, a brilliant but troubled young woman struggling for her freedom in a mental health facility, who communicates with her doctor exclusively in the words of William Shakespeare.

INSTALLATION PRODUCTION OF
CORSETLESS

at the LAB Gallery of the Roger Smith Hotel

Lexington Avenue between 47th and 48th Streets
Daily Performances: Mon October 12th through Fri October 16th 6pm - 7pm

See this show, which takes place in an observation room of a psychiatric hospital, performed in a site-specific glassed-in gallery where Olivia is, literally, being observed by all of Manhattan outside the glass.  There is no charge for this event, and "seating" is unlimited, though reserved spaces are few.

Call now to make RING-SIDE RESERVATIONS for the show by calling the LAB Gallery at 212.339.2092 or by emailing rogersmitharts@rogersmith.com. A Ring-side Reservation insures a guaranteed space next to the glass to watch the show where you will be provided with an umbrella in case of rain. This preferred viewing is ideal for people hoping to stay for the entire hour long performance.

Presented as a co-production of Stir-A Production House and Roger Smith Arts
Directed by Derek Campbell
Score by Elaine Kwon
Set by Lynne Koscielniak
