Go Back to Where You Are
Peter Jay Sharp Theater
Written by
David Greenspan
Directed by Leigh Silverman
A forgotten chorus boy from the theater of Ancient Greece, stuck in a lonely purgatory these past 2000 years, is sent back to earth on a mission from God. He now finds himself among a vacationing family in Montauk, caught off-guard by his re-discovered ability to feel love. Go Back To Where You Are is a melancholy comic romance, told with Greenspan’s unique brand of theatrical wit and exquisite lyricism.

“CRITIC'S PICK. An endearingly daffy, compassionate comedy. DAVID GREENSPAN is always a delight to watch. MARIANN MAYBERRY and BRIAN HUTCHISON are particularly touching. LISA BANES is delicious. Mr. Greenspan the playwright has concocted A HONEY OF A PART for Mr. Greenspan the actor.”
— Charles Isherwood, The New York Times“FUNNY, TOUCHING AND INNOVATIVE. Director LEIGH SILVERMAN draws maximum humor and poignancy from the talented cast.”

“STEPHEN BOGARDUS, MICHAEL IZQUIERDO and TIM HOPPER make their characters into excellent company. ”
