Subject: Complimentary tickets available NOW; See Eve's Newest Play Fruit Trilogy starring Kiersey Clemons & Liz Mikel



Dear friends -
“Ensler's work is all-important to the theatrical community and the world at large. Fruit Trilogy, receiving its American premiere at the Lucille Lortel Theater, is no different.  It's a significant piece that shouldn't be ignored, especially now. Both Mikel and Clemons deliver with finesse and skill.” – Theatermania
Coming on the heels of her acclaimed play In the Body of the World<https://www.npr.org/2018/02/10/584344505/a-new-monologue-for-eve-ensler-re-enacting-life-with-cancer>, Eve Ensler has released her newest work, Fruit Trilogy. Abingdon Theatre presents the New York premiere production, directed by Mark Rosenblatt, featuring Kiersey Clemons (Dope, The Only Boy Living In New York, “Transparent”) and Liz Mikel (Lysistrata Jones, “Friday Night Lights”).

Thanks to the underwriting of tickets from a generous donor, we are able to give complimentary tickets to activists (first come, first serve). We would love to have you, your friends and or organization join us for what is being called “Miraculous and life affirming”.

If you take these tickets, please ensure that your guests attend so that we do not have empty seats.

Fruit Trilogy is a Limited Engagement, running now at the historic Lucille Lortel Theatre in Greenwich Village and runs through 23 June.

 In this pivotal moment when women around the world have risen up to tell their stories and stand up against violence, Eve Ensler’stimely Fruit Trilogy is three short plays that give a voice to defiant, ordinary women: Pomegranate — two women for sale, another morning on the shelf; Avocado — a young woman on her chaotic, shocking journey toward freedom; and Coconut — from the bliss of her bathroom, a woman connects with the one thing she has never fully owned ... her body. Woven together with dark humor and heightened theatricality, Fruit Trilogy explores the humanity behind the headlines.

After select performances, V-Day, the global activist movement to end violence against all women and girls founded by Ensler, will host a talkback series. The series will be led by activists, artists, and thinkers; participating in discussions surrounding the play’s central themes on the commodification and ownership of women’s bodies along with returning to and learning to love the body.

V-love,
Susan & Tony

What the critics are saying about Fruit Trilogy:

“‘Coconut,’ a celebration of full-bodied pleasure that is in equal measure shocking and exhilarating. Breathtaking.” – New York Theater Blog

”From classic times, audiences were meant to experience theater.  ‘Fruit Trilogy’ is an experience. There is poetry, humor, and the hope of deliverance here — that is the experience of ‘Fruit Trilogy.’” – The Front Row Center

“Fruit Trilogy is FEROCIOUS and Inhabited by two extraordinary actresses. Actress Kiersey Clemons’s delivers a gut wrenching performance. The artist employs every aspect of herself to spellbinding effect. Mikel’s liberation is a stellar example to us all. The astonishing performer expands into every corner of the theater. She flirts, seduces, and compels. Joy is infectious. Senses reel. Director Mark Rosenblatt has the talent to bring forth extreme, dynamic, empathetic emotion. His imagination adds immeasurably to Ensler’s own pithy creativity. Eve Ensler is articulate, specific, ambitious, and brave. The crusade for awareness and change continues.” – Woman Around Town

“This production by the Abingdon Theatre Company has been staged by director Mark Rosenblatt with considerable style. It is intriguing to see Ensler consider her usual topics such as body image, male violence, sexual freedom, social exploitation, and similar concerns through an atypical dramatic lens. The sheer fearlessness of Liz Mikel’s performance as the bathroom spellbinder is impressive.” New York Stage Review

“Kiersey Clemons, is magnificent. Liz Mikel’s performance is warm and joyous and inviting.” New York Stage Review

“Eve Ensler has a way of creating a gate to newfound emotion, far beyond the everyday.” – Theater Pizzazz
