Rheology – Live Closed Captioned Performance

May 2 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm

About the Event: After a critically-acclaimed run last spring, Playwrights Horizons presents Rheology! Written and directed by Shayok Misha Chowdhury (2024 Obie winner and Pulitzer finalist), the piece features both Misha and an Obie Award-winning performance from his physicist mother, Bulbul Chakraborty. This performance will include live closed captioning provided by C2 (Caption Coalition), Inc. Captions are delivered in real time and can be accessed on a personal smartphone or tablet via a QR code available at the theater.

Synopsis: In Rheology, Shayok Misha Chowdhury joins forces with his physicist mother, Bulbul Chakraborty. Bulbul is obsessed with the mystery of sand: how it flows like a liquid, but then jams into a solid. Misha is obsessed with his mother. But they’re running out of time. In this boundary-pushing collaboration, an artist son and his scientist mother challenge each other to a high-stakes experiment.

Tickets: Discounted $35 tickets are available through the Access Passport, a season-long membership offering discounted access, early booking, no fees, and free exchanges for accessible performances.

Program Image Description
A black-and-white promotional image showing two people seated next to each other against a light background. On the left, Bulbul gestures with her hand and has an animated, open-mouthed expression. On the right, Misha, wearing a knit cap and light clothing, looks slightly to the side with a thoughtful expression. The image includes large bold text reading “RHEOLOGY” at the top, a small orange “REDUX” label, and oversized handwritten-style orange text reading “Playwrights” across the lower portion.
