The Mountain Song
PigPen Theatre Co.
Wrong Mountain
by David Hirson
Synopsis
To win a bet with his ex-wife's fiancee, the disdainful poet Henry enters a play writing contest in this comic lampoon of the contemporary theatre.
Henry discovers the disaster of success as he becomes everything he once condemned.
A brilliant, darkly comic exploration of the "creative process" and modern culture.
Press Reviews
"A doozy...David Hirson, author of the inspired La Bete, returns to Broadway with a new play about the aftershocks of seismic success.... Laugh out loud moments ... [and] outrageous comic elements."
— The New York Times
"Glitters with a wintry brightness lit by rays of youthful heat. It is a magnet for bristling themes and appealing characters...It raises fascinating questions about artistic intention and authenticity."
— San Francisco Chronicle
"A fresh, vibrant piece of theatre about theatre ... as theatrical as it is intellectual, as entertaining as it is thought provoking."
— Oakland Tribune
"Of the new Broadway plays, my money is on Wrong Mountain."
— The New Yorker
"Gutsy...Shot full of high voltage wordplay."
— Newsday
