"Man In Snow reflects the tautness of construction and vividness of expression that have long been among the hallmarks of Horovitz"
~ The Boston Globe
NY Premiere of
Gloucester Stage Company's Production
Presented in association with Barefoot Theatre Company
& Compagnia Horovitz-Paciotto
Written & Directed by Israel Horovitz
David, recently retired, mourning the loss of his young son, re-visits Mt. McKinley in Alaska, a mountain he summited at age 25. He’s not climbing this visit. Instead, he is guiding a group of Japanese honeymooners who hope to conceive a child under the spell of the Northern Lights. This powerful, passionate drama was originally written by Israel Horovitz 20 years ago for BBC Radio 4 (winner of The SONY Radio Academy Award). The radio script of Man in Snow was put on stage in Italy 3 years ago by director Andrea Paciotto. Inspired by Paciotto’s work, Horovitz re-visited and totally re-conceived Man in Snow for the stage. This new stage version makes its world premiere at Gloucester Stage in October, prior to its NYC premiere at La MaMa.

Press For Man In Snow
"At 77, Israel Horovitz, still vital in his originality, has created in Man in Snow a piece that confronts our imagination, challenges our fears and complacencies and is, finally, immensely entertaining and heartwarming...an extraordinary, exquisite and poignant story of one man’s grief over the loss of his son" ~ Elizabeth Bove, Plays To See
5-STARS
"Man in Snow currently at La Mama’s First Floor Theatre is an exceptional work by the always intriguing Israel Horovitz...a masterwork that will resonate with you long afterward. It is an unequivocal must-see for the witticisms, the brilliance, and the humanity. I loved it! " ~Carole Di Tosti, Blog Critics
