"When Is a Clock" is a new play by the very brilliant trailblazer (and keeper of my heart), Matthew Freeman. It is being billed as "a surrealistic detective story," but I would add that it has moments of outlandish humor, as well as incredible poignance. Freeman's script is lyrical and bursting with strange beauty, director Kyle Ancowitz is a true visionary, and the actors are some of the finest you will see in New York. I don't want to give anything else away, so you simply must come and see it yourself. The show is up at Blue Coyote's Access Theater through May 10th. Tickets are $18, though preview performances (April 15th-17th) are discounted to $12. Get em while they're hot (and still available).

A surrealistic detective story from Matthew Freeman.
Length: 1 hr 45 mins
Intermission: None
Seating: General Admission
When Gordon's wife vanishes, the only clue to her whereabouts is a dog-eared copy of an odd book. Pursued by the police as a potential homicide suspect and perpetually nagged by his smart-ass teenage son, Gordon takes off to a strange Pennsylvania town to search for his missing wife. At turns both scathingly funny and disturbingly compelling, When Is A Clock features Freeman's celebrated deconstruction of American culture - which has been called "nonviolent, though as savage as any slasher film" by the NY Times.
