Dave Malloy’s quirky and wondrous ghost-story-musical is a work that’s as life-affirming as it is astounding. The piece is author-described as “a song cycle about love, death, and whiskey” in which “a camera breaks and four friends drink in four interwoven narratives spanning seven centuries.”
Audiences won’t want to miss this stunning musical from the creator whose work has recently delighted Bay Area audiences at Berkeley Rep (Octet) and Shotgun Players (Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812), with Ghost Quartet what many consider to be his most enchanting work.
A Co-production with New Performance Traditions, performances will take place at Oakland Theater Project from November 1—24 and then travel to ODC (formerly Oberlin Dance Collective) in San Francisco from December 5-8.
