Synopsis

A wry and whimsical documentary musical of loss devised from interviews with real-life New Yorkers by The Civilians, the acclaimed New York-based company.

This collection of very personal accounts of things “gone missing” – everything from keys, personal identification and a Gucci pump to family heirlooms, your dog and your mind – creates a unique tapestry of the ways in which we deal with loss in our lives.

A flexible company of six performs more than thirty characters, intertwining these stories of lost objects with tales from some unusual “finders,” ranging from a retired NYPD cop to a pet psychic.

Set against eclectic and tuneful songs by Michael Friedman, Gone Missing is cabaret-theater about the little things in life seen largely.

Press Reviews

"Gone Missing is not merely a witty, quick-footed and entertaining evening of theater; it is also a finely tuned inquiry into the nature of memory that manages to be forward-looking at the same time. Gone Missing's links between past and present provide clear evidence of evolution in the world of modern theater. Miss it and weep.“ – Time Out New York“Engrossing and inventive. And it delivers a stunning payoff in its final scene…both a kick in the gut and a philosophical conundrum. It’s the kind of conclusion that lingers in the mind long after the show that offered it has vanished.“ – Variety“A startling combination executed with great panache, satirical acumen and covert tenderness."
— The Independent (UK)
