Accessories sets its story in a Brooklyn art gallery the night before an opening, and then performs it in one: gallery ATARAH, Atarah Atkinson's hybrid studio and exhibition space on Meadow Street. Playwright Ian Gould, who teaches middle school theatre in East New York and is an Arthur Miller Foundation Teaching Fellow, stars opposite Tommy Norton as two old friends whose resentments surface. With about 30 seats a night, this close-up new play rewards booking early.
What to expect
You take one of roughly 30 seats in a working gallery, close enough to the actors that the room itself becomes the set. The two-person drama follows a single night as small talk turns into a reckoning with a shared past.
Good to know
- Seating is capped at about 30 per performance, so reserve on Partiful ahead of time.
- Doors open shortly before curtain; latecomers may disrupt a room this small.
- gallery ATARAH is near the Grand Street and Montrose Avenue L stops.
- It is Ian Gould's sixth stage work, performed by Gould and Tommy Norton.
- The run continues on later October weekends if these nights fill.
