THE STORY: When a world-renowned origami artist opens her studio to a teenage prodigy and his school teacher, she discovers that life and love can't be arranged neatly in this drama about finding the perfect fold.
"Mr. Joseph's observant, pitch-perfect script
is really quite ambitious, dealing ruthlessly
with the fragility of happiness, the tragedy of impulsiveness and the tenuousness of hope." - NY Times. "Whether they end poorly or well, relationships always leave a mark, like a new memory, etching a groove into our brains. That's a familiar idea, but Rajiv Joseph makes it feel fresh. In ANIMALS OUT OF PAPER, he begins with a quirky comedy and transforms it into a melancholy reminder that close friends make the worst messes. His journey from one extreme to the other
is surprising and specific, pulling honest insights out of unusual situations." - Variety. "
an exhilarating way to examine the tough subjects of loss, pain, and the balm of creativity
In this wise and richly layered work, the practice of origami
operates as a metaphor for numerous thing - from crafting a meaningful life out of positive and negative components to Joseph's snazzily extruding art out of raw, often corrosive ideas." - TheaterMania.com. "You'll find plenty to educate and charm you in Rajiv Joseph's delicately explosive new play ANIMALS OUT OF PAPER
sharp-edged exploration
searingly simple, but richly satisfying, drama." - Talkin' Broadway.
