Paul Giamatti Curates Stories from The New York Review of Books
December 7, 2016 at 7:30 pm
Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Symphony Space
Between takes on the set of Billions, Paul Giamatti will
sift through stories from the collections of Auden, Chekhov, Saki, du
Maurier, Hardwick, and more to present us with an evening of fiction
from what Oliver Sacks called “one of the great institutions of
intellectual life here or anywhere.”
Performers include Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle), Billy Porter (Kinky Boots), and Kathryn Erbe (Law & Order: Criminal Intent).
Produced in cooperation with the NYRB Classics
The NYRB Classics series is dedicated to
publishing an eclectic mix of fiction and non-fiction from different
eras and times and of various sorts. The series includes nineteenth
century novels and experimental novels, reportage and belles lettres,
tell-all memoirs and learned studies, established classics and cult
favorites, literature high, low, unsuspected, and unheard of. NYRB
Classics are, to a large degree, discoveries, the kind of books that
people typically run into outside of the classroom and then remember for
life.
Selected Shorts is produced
by Symphony Space and broadcast on more than 150 stations around the
country. The Selected Shorts podcast consistently ranks as one of the
most popular podcasts on iTunes. The series began in 1985 and enjoys
sold-out performances to this day. Selected Shorts was conceived with a
simple premise: take great stories by well-known and emerging writers
and have them performed by terrific actors of stage and screen.
Featuring stories around a lively theme, the favorite works of a guest
author, or a special collaboration, each Selected Shorts event is a
unique night of literature in performance.
Premium tickets are available and include a $50 tax-deductible donation to Symphony Space.
Actors subject to change.
