The Day on Which A Man Dies August 1, 2009

'The Day On Which A Man Dies' by Tennessee Williams headlines National Pastime Theater's 1st annual fine arts festival 'Naked July: Art Stripped Down. Williams finished the play in 1960 but held the text in reserve. It was rediscovered in 1991 and waited seventeen years for its world premiere in Chicago in 2008. National Pastime Theater is reviving that world premiere performance for its Naked July festival. 'The Day On Which A Man Dies' is a translation of Japanese Noh drama into performance art, exploring an artist's frenzied hunt for new means of expression that culminates in his suicide.
