Ben
Davis in association with Zoo District present “In Absentia”
for a limited run!
written
and performed by Ben Davis
directed
by Loren Rubin
“In
Absentia”is an American male coming of age rant that
does honor to a tradition going back at least to Herman Melville
while being true to its own moment. Davis performs his rich
monologue fearlessly.“William Corbett, renown poet and
author of "Literary New York," and "Philip Guston: A Memoir"
"Ben Davis is a consummate performer - combining a profound
sense of humanity with a rare comic gift. 'In Absentia' is
a Tour de Force performance about a night that spirals out
of control. It is an insane ride that remains thoroughly moving
at the same time it is laceratingly funny." Travis Preston,
Head of Master's Directing Program- Cal Arts

"A
raw, powerful, poignant narrative of a young man's coming
of age. This brilliant one man show is alternately devastating
and funny, grounded and elusive, tough and tender. Ben Davis
is luminous."
Sara Lawrence Lightfoot, Professor of Sociology, Harvard
University
Author of "Balm in Gilead" and "I've Known Rivers"
