October. 9-Nov. 15, 2009
Written, Performed and Directed by David Cale
Palomino is a brilliant new play that follows Kieren McGrath, a beautiful, literate, and mysterious Irish Central Park carriage driver. Kieren dreams of writing a book, and when the opportunity to become an escort to rich, lonely women in NYC comes up, he's found his subject. Or has he? Mr. Cale is an Obie Award-winning author and virtuoso performer whose accomplished and inspiring monologues have been featured on NPR's "This American Life" and "The Next Big Thing" and on BBC Radio 4's "Afternoon Play." As a lyricist, his words have been performed by Elvis Costello, Deborah Harry and the Jazz Passengers.
"David Cale...is a spellbinder. Fascinating as he is to watch, and exquisite as his verbal imagery can be, it is Cale's gifts as a storyteller that hold an audience rapt." -- San Francisco Chronicle
Contains Strong Language and Adult Situations
