Panel 1 on 09/25/17 Edith Grossman The special pleasure for me when I translate wonderfully written works like the novels of Gabriel García Márquez is that his brilliant prose filled with great swells of lyricism and poetic imagery challenges me to find a comparable flow in English. My abilities as a writer in my own language are stretched to their limit in their struggle to recreate the sound and the sense of his castellano castizo—pure traditional Spanish.

The Play
Stuck on an island with 8 million people, Caroline and Denny are lonely and over-medicated. Separated by Central Park and almost two decades in age, this dysfunctional pair is brought together online by lust and their inability to cope. ACROSS THE PARK, a new play by Kate Tucker Fahlsing, follows Denny and Caroline’s non-traditional relationship for ten years and about ten thousand text messages. This dark comedy takes a candid look at mental illness, the search for human connection, and what happens when the only person who truly understands you is as damaged as you are.
The Cast
Across the Park is an Equity Approved Showcase production featuring: Jenna Krasowski, Michael Earle Fajardo*, Jolie Curtsinger*, Theo Iyer* and Elizabeth Bove* (*Appearing courtesy of AEA).
