Nate Martin is hopelessly single. When his most recent breakup – another in a lifelong string of ill-fated matches – casts him into a funk, he turns to the only source of wisdom he trusts: the stars. Pouring over astrological charts, he obsessively questions his past and place in the cosmos. But in Adam Bock’s disarming new play, the answer he receives, when it comes, is shockingly obvious – and totally unpredictable.
A Life premiered at Playwrights Horizons in New York City in September 2016 under the direction of Anne Kaufman.
