Kevin, a young actor, is given the chance of a lifetime: he will play both
the villain and the hero in a big-budget feature film. But it turns out
Kevin may be in for more than he bargained for. John, the film’s director
and writer, develops a script drawn from the most personal depths of Kevin’s
psychology. The project becomes unexpectedly intimate, and even after the
film is complete, Kevin cannot shake that uncomfortable feeling. Christopher
Shinn’s hauntingly comic play explores the ups and downs of being “picked.”
one man picked out of ten thousand
Hamlet
The world premiere of PICKED will be staged by the award-winning off
Broadway company, The Vineyard Theatre, beginning April 2011.
