It's another lunch hour in the main square, and two white-collar wannabe sharks are heading back to the office hustle. They have some concerns, though: Who's watch is more prestigious? Is it possible to eat from a street vendor without looking like a hick? (Is that why they never manage to actually eat lunch?) And where did all the people go? Also: who is that man who watches them every day, and why does it feel so damn reassuring? Old-school Absurdism meets The Office, in a play about anonymity, surveillance, and global consumer culture.
The Eyes of Others won the Shumen new play contest in Bulgaria, and in NYC was selected from among hundreds of international plays to be read at the Lark Play Development Center’s 2012 hotINK Festival. In September it becomes the first Bulgarian play to receive a major New York production. Thanks to a generous Trust for Mutual Understanding grant awarded by CEC/ArtsLink, both playwright Ivan Dimitrov and translator Angela Rodel will travel to New York for the rehearsal process, to develop the play and refine its translation.

Bug Company is a producing organization devoted to exploring translation in performance as both a practice and an idea. Bug Company’s first play was Hater, director Samuel Buggeln’s faithful yet unconventional translation of Molière’s Le Misanthrope, produced at the Ohio Theatre in 2010. The New York Times said “Gleeful..! Hater wields a rapier...[and] nicely twists the blade.”
The Eyes Of Others was developed, in part, through a residency with IRT Theater.
Please Note: There is no late seating at the New Ohio
