- Summary
- On a frozen Minnesota lake, it's the end of the fishing season and two friends are out on the ice, angling for something big, something down there that, had it the wherewithal, could swallow them whole. With the existentialism of a Beckett two-handerbut set in the icy and folksy depths of the Midwest, Nice Fish is a unique portrayal of an old friendship in need of revival, a friendship between two men, a friendship between them and their environment, a friendship between them and their loves, lives, and eventual deaths. The play celebrates the many, many ways that our perspective can change in a moment. Nice Fish was originally commissioned by Joe Dowling for the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis in 2013. It was then revised for the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, directed by Claire van Kampen, and played to rave reviews in a sold-out extended run in New York in February 2013 at St. Ann's Warehouse, startting Mark Rylance and JIm Lichtscheidl, and featuring Louis Jenkins. The play transferred to London for a run in the West End at the Harold Pinter Theatre beginning in November 2016. -- from back cover.
