Odd Nerdrum: “Marlowe”

Join us for a special reading of Odd Nerdrum’s play, “Marlowe” Saturday, October 16, 5 pm.

“Set in a family home on the outskirts of a large coastal city, Marlowe examines the eternal human struggle between the sublime and the banal, the consequences of that struggle and ultimately one’s inability to live in an unpoetic world without beauty or imagination.” Greg Oliver Bodine, performer
