"The Argument" • October 27, 2008 • 7:30 pm
Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, Michigan League
911 N. University, Ann Arbor MI

Written and performed by David Greenspan
Directed by David Herskovits
Originally produced by Target Margin Theater

A passionate student’s love-letter and farewell to his teacher, The Argument reminds us of the personal pathos that binds us to the Greeks, and fires us to capture that chimera, art. Based on both the Poetics and the writings of Gerald F. Else, this one-man play written and performed by the virtuosic David Greenspan explores the non-artist’s take on categorizing, dissecting, and defining art for the rest of us.
