Description
3 m / Drama / InteriorNelson is the story of a young man caught between two worlds. By day he works as a low-level assistant to a film talent agent. By night Nelson is the camera man for an underground gang-related videotape series. As the videos become increasingly dangerous and popular Nelson develops an overwhelming obsession with a C-List actress. Eventually Nelson's two worlds collide with disturbing unsettling results. The play is a darkly comic look at the guilt dream of a man trying to find something authentic in a world of two very different kinds of film."A funny-creepy play by Sam Marks" - Neil Genzlinger The New York Times"Marks continues to offer a fresh urban voice. Nelson grabs your ear from the outset with its halting staccato street talk and in the fine office scenes Nelson's racist boss attacks him with a Mamet-like patter of disdaining sarcasm." - Time Out New York
