We also meet Uncle Louie and Aunt Gert, with their own idiosyncrasies and set of survival issues. Look out! I love the humanity, vibrancy and spirit of this play. Loaded with humor and heart, perhaps we'll see that with a little help, we can make it through our darkest days.” The cast of San Diego Performers includes SRT Artistic Director, Jill Drexler as Grandma Kurnitz, Katee Drysdale as Bella, Kenny Bordieri as Eddie, Eddy Lukovic as Louie, Melanie Mino as Gert, J.P. Wishchuk as Arty and Giovanny Diaz de Leon as Jay.

Sponsored by UC San Diego's Department of Visual Arts and Film Studies Program. "The specific work in question is Wharton’s novel 'The Age of Innocence' (published 1920, set in the 1870s). But Steve Fagin does not set out to adapt this novel in any way, shape or form. To address it, yes. To circle it. Surround it. Question it. Stalk it, even. To treat it as a cultural site (across, literally, its many editions) and also, in a virtual-cubistic sense, an imaginary space that one can inhabit and poke around in. To unsettle its foundations, its comfortable drift into history, including media history."
– Adrian Martin Steve Fagin is an American artist and former professor of Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego. He has produced a series of feature length videos, including "The Amazing Voyage of Gustave Flaubert and Raymond Roussel," "The Machine That Killed Bad People" and "TropiCola" (the latter produced in collaboration with some of the most important theatre actors and producers in Havana).
