Katherine Owens will direct. David Rabe brings Anton Chekov’s spiritual mystery to vivid life. Tony and Obie award winning writer David Rabe is the author of such classic American contemporary plays as Stick and Bones, Hurlyburly, Streamers, In the Boom Boom Room and more. He’s also written screenplays for films such as I’m Dancing as fast as I can, The Firm and Casualties of War. Un- dermain returns to Rabe’s work after the acclaimed produc- tions of Rabe’s play Goose and Tom Tom, which Rabe at- tended in 1991. Kovrin, a young scholar exhausted to the point of madness by his studies decides to visit his childhood friend Tanya on her father's garden estate. The two fall in love and plan to marry. Kovrin tells Tanya the legend of the black monk whose image has been reflected in mirages for a thousand years and who will soon return in the flesh. One day in the garden, the black monk appears to the young man and holds the key to either enlightenment or total devastation. The cast for The Black Monk is: Garrett Schenck as Yegor Se- myonitch Pesotsky; Jonathan Brooks as Andrei Vasilich Kov- rin; Shannon Kearns-Simmons as Tanya; Newton Pittman as The Black Monk; Stefanie Tovar as Nadia; Richard Rollin as Orlov; Maryam Baig as Varvara Nikolaevna; Mikhail is to be announced; Parker Hornsby as Yakov; Ryan Lescalleet as ensemble.

The graceful flow from one to the other, and from the page to the stage, is remarkable. Mr. Rabe has heightened theatrical possibilities by extending descriptive passages into dramatic scenes that catch fire…The Black Monk is a heady event... Don't miss it.” -Alvin Klein, The New York Times ABOUT UNDERMAIN Undermain Theatre, founded in 1984, is a company of artists that performs new and experimen- tal works in Texas, New York, and Europe.
