Alex Tatarsky's "Sad Boys in Harpy Land"

“A thrilling and frenetic mental breakdown of a show.” — New York Times Sad Boys in Harpy Land is a clown play about wanting to die. A falling apart coming-of-age tale from playwright and self-proclaimed “experimental clown artist” Alex Tatarsky (“outrageous and profane,” New York Times), the one-person show is a semi-autobiographical tour-de-farce that takes place in the hellscape of the mind. Embracing the spiral, the unfinished, and the broken bits, Tatarsky ushers audiences through a series of existential vignettes to examine how depression often masquerades as individual malady—when it might be better thought of as a shared sadness.
