THE SEARCH FOR SIGNS OF INTELLIGENT LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE
TONY AWARD WINNER
BEST ACTRESS IN A PLAY
NOMINATED FOR 2
1993 EMMY AWARDS
WINNER
Drama Desk Award
WINNER
The New York Drama Critics' Special Award
The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe is a kind of Gulliver's Travelogue of the latter half of the 20th century.[1]
Serving as narrator is Trudy, a mad bag lady who has befriended aliens from outer space to take a look at “a planet in puberty.” Trudy threads her way through the “rich tapestry”[2] of the dozen characters that populate the play.
This is a compendium of pop history, a living anthropological exhibit. But it is also a chronicle of the human heart, trying to mend its bruises and ease its disappointments.[1]
It is a dazzling, divinely human comedy.[3]
“A goosebump experience.”[2]
1. David Richards, Washington Post
2. Frank Rich, New York Times
3. Jack Kroll, Newsweek
Running time: 120 minutes.
