Item Description

This is your chance to bid on 2 tickets to the new "Poor Behavior" play at the Mark Taper Forum in downtown Los Angeles!

These tickets are good for a preview performance on September 7-23, 2011, excluding Saturday evenings and September 18.

Poor Behavior, a new play about lust and deception, marriage and fidelity by renowned playwright Theresa Rebeck and directed by Doug Hughes, will have its world premiere at the Center Theatre Group/Mark Taper Forum in September, as part of the Taper’s 2011 season.

In Poor Behavior, a drunken late night argument about morality, history and ethics careens out of control, leaving two marriages and four lives in its wake.  Over the course of two demented days in a lovely country house, this dark adult comedy asks the question:  Is it adultery if they already think you’ve done it?

Poor Behavior is presented at the Taper by special arrangement with Jeffrey Finn and features set design by Tony Award-winner John Lee Beatty, costume design by Tony Award-winner Catherine Zuber, lighting design by Ben Stanton and sound design by Obie Award-winner David Van Tieghem.  

The production reunites Pulitzer Prize finalist Rebeck with director Hughes, who previously collaborated in 2007 on Rebeck’s Broadway debut, Mauritius
