Dai (enough), Iris
Bahr's acclaimed one-woman play is the final weeks of its limited engagement,
with performances through March 2 at The 47th Street Theatre.
Written and performed by Iris Bahr (www.DaiThePlay.com), Dai premiered last season at The Culture Project, after which it
played a sold-out month-long engagement at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival in
August. In addition to receiving two 2007 NY Drama Desk Award nominations,
including Best Solo Performance, and a UK Stage Award nomination for Best Solo
Performance at this year's Edinburgh Festival, Bahr played an invitation-only
performance of Dai in May for more than 100 U.N. Ambassadors and Diplomats at
the personal request of Israeli UN Ambassador, Dan Gillermann.
"Dai transports us
into the fast-paced world of a bustling Tel Aviv café, just moments before a
suicide bomber enters. Brought to life through Iris Bahr's razor sharp
characterizations, members of all strata of Israeli society, as well as its
observers and critics, are captured in what are to be their final moments. But
it is Bahr's ability to find the humor and humanity in even the most dire and
tragic circumstances that makes Dai
sparkle, as we come to know these eccentric, lost, troubled souls, and peer
into their hilarious lives, quirks and neuroses," explain press notes.
Remaining performances are Saturday February 9 at 6:30PM;
Sunday February 10 at 5:30PM; Wednesday February 13 at 6:30PM; Friday February
