Gordy Crashes
with Ricochet Collective at IRT Theater
June 5 – 27, 2015
Gordy is having a bad week. Super-storm Sandy has driven him out of his apartment and into a dizzying blur of couch surfing, bad takeout, alcohol binges, stories about the horrible destruction in the Rockaways, and aimless wandering between Manhattan and Brooklyn.
This eventually lands him, delirious and sleep-deprived, on the doorstep of his estranged ex-girlfriend, Mere.
Over the next three days, Gordy will see the true extent of the storm’s devastation as his declining mental state steers him into a head-on collision with his own fear and anxiety.
