Since the shows sold-out work-in-progress showings at Brooklyn Arts Exchange and The Public Theaters Under the Radar Incoming! Series, downtown theatergoers have been anticipating the premiere of The Nosebleed. Through a series of turbulent, absurd and poignantly comic vignettes, Ogawa reveals the seemingly insurmountable cultural and generational gap between themself and their father, who was a typical Japanese corporate businessman, and examines the questions faced by the playwright in their own motherhood experience today. A theatrical memorial and healing ritual for the audience, this darkly humorous, tender and inventive play considers how we inherit and bequeath failure, and what it takes to forgive. All audience members must show proof of vaccination at Will Call. Audience seating will be on the auditorium stage with an approximate capacity of 40 people.
