Modern / Classics

The usually staid Pearl shakes things up in a new series of readings in which modern writers futz with time-tested works. The hilarious Nick Jones starts things off with Salome of the Moon (Jan 23–25), with a kickass cast that includes Michael Urie, Anne Gridley and Paul Thureen; Oded Gross's take on The Government Inspector (Jan 26–29) and Aaron Posner's Chekhovian Stupid Fu**ing Bird (Jan 30–Feb 1) ensue.
