THE ARGUMENT with Obie Award Winner David Greenspan
Fisher Center, LUMA Theater  by Gerald Else

“the classics professor of a bored college student’s dreams” 

The New York Times  

"rock solid genius"
Time Out New York                 

The Argument is based on writings of Gerald F. Else regarding the attack on poetry made by Plato in the Republic, reasons for Plato’s disapproval of tragedy and the coherent rebuttal offered by Aristotle in the Poetics. The play incorporates this material into a portion of the Poetics.  It is a 40-minute monologue in the form of a lecture delivered by Aristotle.

Gerald Frank Else (1908-1982) was a professor of Greek and Latin, and the author of major works of classical scholarship on Aristotle, Greek tragedy, and Homer.  In 1957, Aristotle’s Poetics: The Argument was published.  In it, Else embarked on the task to revise current understandings of Aristotle’s Poetics, not in the least by beginning with the premise that the Poetics constitutes a single, coherent argument.

About the Artist: David Greenspan has directed and performed in his plays Jack, Principia, The Home Show Pieces, 2 Samuel 11, Etc., Dead Mother, or Shirley Not All in Vain, She Stoops to Comedy (Obie), The Argument (Obie), and The Myopia, an epic burlesque of tragic proportion, and collobrated with songwriter Stephin Merritt on Coraline.  These have been produced, most notably, by the Public, Playwrights Horizons, Target Margin, The Foundry and MCC.  He has received two performance Obies; one for Terrence McNally's Some Men (Second Stage) and Goethe’s Faust (Target Margin), one for Mart Crowley’s The Boys in the Band.  Alumnus New Dramatists; Guggenheim, Lortel, fellowships, Alpert Award.Free to Bard community on a first-come, first served basis
