CHASING MANET

March 24 - May 2, 2009
A New York Premiere

By Tina Howe
Directed by Michael Wilson

In Tina Howe's new comedy, Chasing Manet, a rebellious painter from a distinguished family in Boston and an ebullient Jewish woman with a huge adoring family form an unlikely bond.  Inside the confining walls of Mount Airy Nursing Home, the two plot an escape to Paris aboard the QE2.  But can they possibly pull it off amidst the chaos of their surroundings?  The tension and comedy grow as they struggle to take wing for the last time.

Tony Award nominated playwright Tina Howe is best known for Coastal Disturbances and Painting Churches.   This world premiere of Chasing Manet marks her first collaboration with Primary Stages.
