Presented by The Wooster Group
Nayatt School Redux reanimates the 1978 Wooster Group work Nayatt School.
The original Nayatt School featured Spalding Gray鈥檚 first foray into the monologue form, launching his influential career as a monologist. He spoke about his beginnings in the theater and played L.P.s from his theatrical record collection, including an LP of T.S. Eliot鈥檚 play The Cocktail Party.
Nayatt School Redux begins with a new monologue from long-time Wooster Group member Kate Valk. She reveals newly-restored archival video recordings of Gray in the original production and tells her own story of how she came to work with the company in the late 1970s. Then Valk and the Group鈥檚 present company channel the final scenes from the original production, extending the exploration of Eliot鈥檚 text.
