“unexpected and refreshing, profound and touching”
-Minnesota Monthly
By Mark Rylance & Louis Jenkins
Directed by Claire van Kampen
Starring Kayli Carter, Bob Davis, Louis Jenkins, Jim Lichtscheidl, & Mark Rylance
On a lake in frozen Minnesota, the ice is beginning to creak and groan. It’s the end of the fishing season, and two men are out on the ice one last time, angling for answers to life’s larger questions. A play woven together from the acclaimed prose poems of Louis Jenkins, Nice Fish reflects nature with a wry surreality. As Jenkins writes, they “are after something big, something down there that is pure need, something that, had it the wherewithal, would swallow them whole.”
