Tales of wanting love and wanton lust come together
in a bed of many stories.
GOD IN BED has been described as a moveable feast. There have been many productions in Europe, each different than the other. The individual monologues, the sequence, the “dialogue” between the pieces, and the themes and story are all unique to the company of actors performing that particular production.
The original workshop was developed at Circle Rep Theater Company right before it’s demise. There have been many workshops and showcase productions since. This latest incarnation, developed specifically by and for The WorkShop Theater Company.
“Magnificent writing, fully realized, fascinating characters.”
Lanford Wilson
“Here are tortured souls who race through their lives with the terrifying speed of a rollercoaster. Here is the giant ferris wheel that takes people to breathless heights. Made vivid by a rage of introspection, Alterman’s people find God in bed or sitting on the steps of a church on 42nd Street. A lucky few discover God in themselves. The people you meet here live lives of tragic beauty and brutally plain truth. Every story is a parable about people who have kissed, maybe danced with the Devil, and lived to tell of it.”
Andre De Shields- WorkShop Advisory Board, Director and Star of one of Mr. Alterman's Monologue Plays.
“Mr. Alterman is to monologues as Almodovar is to movies”
