Fish Eye is a darkly funny and emotionally raw portrait of a couple struggling to hold on to one another without losing themselves. Fish Eye explodes the traditional chronology of romance and offers a modern take on the impossible exhilaration of love– when nothing means everything and everything means nothing–and the entire world shrinks down to a single moment.
Press
“These guys have chops…”
“In Lucas Kavner’s lovely Fish Eye, a time-scrambled, hyperlocal portrait of a failing relationship, our closeness underlines the production’s cinematic level of care. Blessed with a charismatic acting ensemble and a playwright skilled at sweetly funny dialogue, the production offers a portrait in extreme close-up, one painfully zoomed in on young urbanites failing to make it work.”
“Fish’ tackles love and you’re hooked: Compact and cannily drawn work is a winner.”
“Bringing sexy back to Off-Broadway”
