I Was Most Alive with You

The transfixing deaf actor Russell Harvard (Tribes) stars in a new play by Craig Lucas (Reckless), inspired by the Book of Job and set at the Thanksgiving table of a fractured family. Tyne Rafaeli directs the NYC premiere at Playwrights Horizons, with a cast that includes Michael Gaston, Lisa Emery and the great Lois Smith; a second cast of deaf actors, supervised by Sabrina Dennison, performs the play simultaneously in American Sign Language.
