The Fever by Wallace Shawn June 23, 2009

the fever
by wallace shawn
performed by david shapiro

A profoundly engaging and provocative journey through the
awakening of a pampered man’s conscience. Wallace Shawn is a
true original, one of the most deeply seeing, sharply writing
playwrights we have.
- Newsweek

As the author of The Fever, and as a performer of it, I want to say
that I found David Shapiro’s rendition of my piece truly amazing and
wonderful. In fact I have to admit that I would have loved to do it the
way he did it but I wasn’t able to. I really hope that a lot of people
get to see it.
- Wallace Shawn

David Shapiro delivers the painful truths with invigorating immediacy.
- Chicago Tribune

Anyone who leaves this performance without feeling stirred up has
not been paying attention.
