L.A. doesn’t know what’s it’s in for, but we do! No, we don’t have access to a magic seismograph, but if you saw Stitching starring Meital Dohan last year at the Wild Project, you know that good old Southern California is in for a rock ‘em, sock ‘em theatrical earthquake. Written by controversial Scottish playwright Anthony Neilson, Stitching is a fine example of  “in-yer-face theatre,” the controversial dramatic style that emerged in Great Britain in the early years of this decade. Both the NYC and LA productions are directed by our own Timothy Haskell.

The play received critical acclaim in its NYC premiere last year, many kudos going to Meital Dohan, who you might remember as a feisty—and ferociously sexy—rabbinical scholar on Showtime’s Weeds.  John Ventimiglia (Artie Bucco on The Sopranos) also stars.

Take a look at the graphic identity we created for the show. To my mind, it does just what good show art should do: captures the emotional essence of the piece in a visually arresting, yet enigmatic way.  The play is a tasty little chunk of psycho-love-drama, depicting two people who love each other in a brutally tender way, odd as that sounds. Their bond is painful to the touch; it hurts as much as it heals them.   And though the piece is sometimes painful to watch, it’s also an intimate look at a couple trying to love each other in the only way they know how.
