Occupant Tickets

In Occupant, master playwright Edward Albee presents a very personal portrait of sculptor Louise Nevelson, portrayed on stage by Oscar- and Tony-winning actress Mercedes Ruehl. The play represents Albee's quest to capture a charismatic and complex artist and her persona. What is the relationship between creator and creation? Who was Louise Nevelson? Only she knew. In the wake of acclaimed productions of Peter and Jerry and The American Dream and The Sandbox, Occupant is the third of Albee's works to be represented off-Broadway this season, and serves a fitting celebration of his 80th birthday and his lifetime of achievement in the theater.
