In this Obie Award-winning piece, provocative performer, playwright and director Young Jean Lee takes the stage with her band Future Wife in a life-affirming show about the thing everyone has in common: WE'RE GONNA DIE. You may be miserable, but you won't be alone.
WE'RE GONNA DIE returned to the Claire Tow Theater in August 2013 for another sold-out engagement. WE'RE GONNA DIE was originally produced by Caleb Hammons for 13 Playwrights Inc, in association with Young Jean Lee's Theater Company and originally performed in April 2011 at Joe's Pub in New York, NY. It was also performed at the Claire Tow Theater September 12-15, 2012. WE'RE GONNA DIE was developed in part through a residency at the National Theater Institute at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center, and through the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council's Swing Space program (space at 14 Wall Street is donated by Capstone Equities), and is presented with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts, a state agency.
