TALKING BAND'S "TRIPLICITY"

 ON TALKING BAND'S "TRIPLICITY"

On tonight’s show, we’ll be joined by writer/composer Ellen Maddow and director Paul Zimet, founders with Tina Shepard of the 18-time Obie-award-winning company Talking Band, to discuss the world premiere of Triplicity, a new music theater work from this most venerable, long-lived, bold, politically minded, rigorous but zany, playful but serious of theater ensembles.

The dictionary defines the word triplicity as “A group of three people or things” and demonstrates the way it can be used this way: “the triplicity of persons within the absolute unity of the godhead.”

Triplicity the theater piece is  the story of three ordinary New  Yorkers whose lives overlap  and intertwine in unexpected  ways.  All three are haunted by the  music of Calliope, a street  singer who sings addictive melodies with cryptic lyrics at all hours of the day and night in an alcove at the Path station. On Christopher Street.

Hosted by Janet Coleman and David Dozer
