NEW YORK—Few play titles are as dead-on and deliberately incomplete as Adam Bock’s “A Life,” a quietly powerful drama having its world premiere at Playwrights Horizons.
Nate Martin (David Hyde Pierce) is a 50-something man living alone in New York City after a breakup with his latest lover. He’s still reeling from this event, even though he’s loath to admit it.
Nate has a long-standing problem with intimacy and telling people how he really feels, which those in his Thursday group therapy sessions have pointed out to him more than once.
Pierce is excellent.
