Idiot Savant


producer: The Public Theater

Idiot Savant the Off Broadway Play - Idiot Savant Tickets - click for tickets
From the legendary Richard Foreman, a "wild theatrical odyssey" starring Willem Dafoe...produced in association with Ontological-Hysteric Theater.

The production of Idiot Savant closed December 20, 2009. For current Broadway show listings and tickets, please click here.

From the producer:

Marie asks the Idiot Savant, “But what makes certain words – magic?” What follows is a wild theatrical odyssey that could only have sprung from the fantastical mind of Richard Foreman (THE THREEPENNY OPERA), New York’s legendary avant-garde genius. This new work is a philosophical comedy, in the great tradition of Ionesco and Preston Sturges. From precise existential and metaphysical acrobatics, to a ridiculous game of inter-species golf with Giant Duck, IDIOT SAVANT is a fresh, bracing and hilarious exploration of the boundaries of the legitimate.

What is the Public Theater? Founded in 1954 by the legendary showman Joseph Papp, the Public Theater is one of NYC'c preeminent non-profit theaters. Dedicated to the development of new plays and musicals, the theater has spawned many Broadway shows (including "A Chorus Line" and both the original production and current revival of "Hair") and has 40 Tony Awards to its credit.
