About This Event
Back by popular demand!
Performer, playwright, and descendent of Herman Melville, Elizabeth Doss “talks back” to The Confidence Man, the last novel Melville published in his lifetime. Set on a steamboat cruising down Mississippi, Doss jumps aboard, probing this text to grapple with her own encounters with “Confidence Men”, not to mention her own flagging confidence, and what in the world is Melville really getting at in his strange and perplexing text.
Doss asks, “Do you need to read The Confidence Man or does it deserve its obscurity?” This solo performance offers a mixture of insight, ignorance, and some stabs at hilarity.
Come cheer her on for another three consecutive nights at the Neill-Cochran House Museum!
Complimentary refreshments available before the show begins.
Free parking is available behind the museum. Accessible from W 23rd St.
