    Press Quotes

    “In the six tales of PILGRIMS OF THE NIGHT, and in the framing narrative, Jenkin explores many of the raw nerve ends in our society; the deep need to believe an absolute, while at the same time reveling in the gratification of the present; the difference between titillation and satisfaction; the bizarre nature of reality; and the real nature of the bizarre.” —Times (Seattle)

    “Jenkin’s PILGRIMS OF THE NIGHT is a wonderful combination of innocence and guile, primitive impulses and sophisticated craft. Zombies, a headless woman, an island paradise, an erotically frustrated fry cook, a psychopathic neurosurgeon, a silver fairy, and a formerly live deer all make memorable impressions.” —Post-Intelligencer (Seattle)

    A play with an absurdist edge, this 80-minute monologue explores the depths of human isolation with humor and poignancy. At its center is the hopelessly deluded, but eternally hopeful, Sparky, who seeks the perfect placement of his old wooden chair, as he desperately tries to reach out to all the “sad, apprehensive, isolated, wounded, suffering people” to let them know that “it's okay to be scared and isolated, it's normal to be scared and isolated” and they're not alone.

Unfortunately, the previous tenant of this apartment isn’t a man who likes to let go … and he wasn’t ready to move out. First, it’s little things: their mail disappears, it feels like someone’s watching them, he stops by occasionally just to say hi and see what they’ve done with the place. But soon, when G is called out of town for business, M is left alone, and before they know it, they wake up to find themselves immobilized and watching as the previous tenant begins to make the apartment his own again.

    Dark Ride
    Len Jenkin
    $15.00–$15.95

    Play Description

    A brilliantly conceived and highly theatrical experience in absurdist drama, in which the audience is taken on a wild and funny metaphysical journey into the fertile imaginations of the diverse characters whose bizarre stories are deftly interwoven into the fabric of the play. DARK RIDE is comprised of a series of vignettes involving characters who, at first, appear to bear no relation to each other. A mysterious figure gives a scholar an ancient manuscript to translate; a thief steals an enormous jewel; a woman assures us that life is all coincidence; a dream-like waitress serves her customers all manner of thoughts and suggestions but no food. The images are bizarrely funny and provocative and, in time, coalesce into a pattern of driving concerns and obsessions that come into focus when the various characters finally meet at an oculists convention in Mexico City. Phantasmagoric, the play takes us on a journey that, in the final essence, transcends the physical world to explore the inner recesses of the mind.
