Play Summary
Seminar, a dark comedy by Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck, explores the lives and loves of four young aspiring writers, Jeffrey, Kate, Izzy and Martin, each of whom antes up $5,000 to pay for a private writing seminar with Leonard, a brilliant and acerbic celebrity author. As they struggle with Leonard’s unusual teaching methods and often vicious criticism, they must deal with their own insecurities, fluctuating power relationships and sexual betrayals. Described as a “sparkling cocktail of ambition, power, and lust,” Seminar premiered on Broadway in 2011.
