Ben Katchor and Mark Mulcahy, the creators of The Slug Bearers of Kayrol Island are presenting a new music theater production for one night only. The show, entitled The Rosenbach Company: A Tragicomedy, tells the story of Abe Rosenbach, a prominent rare book dealer in the first half of the twentieth century and his brother Phillip, a dealer in decorative arts. By combining live actors and musicians with slide projections of drawings, Katchor and Mulcahy create a fanciful and intriguing world. The work explores the obsessive nature of collecting and the dynamics of running a family business.
