NYC: Go see MONTAG!
quick!
🗽NYC: MONTAG by Kate Tarker, directed by Dustin Wills presented by Soho Rep
“Don’t. Panic. Stay. Calm. Everything in this room is a weapon or a shield.” Faith and Novella are best friends living in a small German town near an American military base. In Novella’s basement apartment, they’re practicing some unusual combat drills–armed with wine, potato chips, and the very best speakers they can afford. Montag is a domestic thriller, a sleep deprivation comedy, and a rebellion celebration under threat of annihilation.
Soho Rep just extended MONTAG through November 20 and you must see it. It’s one of the more thrilling pieces of theatre I’ve seen since the shutdown. It’s smart, funny, wild, and scary—and I LOVE a scary play. It’s not scary-movie scary—in fact, one of the most brilliant aspects of the play is how it avoids glorifying the kind of violence it abhors.
Actors Nadine Malouf and Ariana Venturi give two of the best performances I’ve ever seen, period. They are a model of actors in sync, working together so tightly that—cliche as it sounds—they didn’t feel like actors. I felt like a voyeur, watching these two women in their private space together, the tension of the outside world growing and pressing in on the room.
It’s a special one. Don’t miss it!
