A play by the multitalented actor: "[Eisenberg] has a wry ear and a knack for unsentimental poignancy that keeps
The Revisionistemotionally compelling."-
USA Today
Though he first became known for his acting in films ranging from
The Squid and the Whale to
The Social Network, Jesse Eisenberg has also emerged as an acclaimed literary talent-a regular contributor to the
New Yorker and a highly praised playwright.
In
The Revisionist, his second play, young writer David arrives in Poland with a crippling case of writer's block and a desire to be left alone. His seventy-five-year-old second cousin, Maria, welcomes him with a fervent need to connect with her distant American relative. As their relationship develops, she will reveal details about her postwar past that test their ideas of what it means to be a family.
This "tightly structured, deeply human play about the truthful mess of human experience" (
Exeunt Magazine) had its world premiere at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York in spring 2013, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Vanessa Redgrave and directed by Kip Fagan.
"A rewarding account of cultural collision that yields unexpected reflections on the centrality of family in our lives-whether we idealize them or take them for granted...As a playwright, Eisenberg's intentions seem clear. He takes a critical swipe at himself, and by extension, his entitled generation."-
