A pair of house seats to the critically-acclaimed production of The Sound and The Fury by Elevator Repair Service Theater at the Public Theater May 14 - June 13.

Obie Award winning ensemble ELEVATOR REPAIR SERVICE (ERS) returns to The Public, home to its sold-out performances of Gatz (2010 and 2012) and Arguendo (2013), with their widely praised staging of William Faulkner’s modernist masterpiece, The Sound and the Fury. With a lush sound score, high-energy choreography and a profoundly versatile ensemble, ERS delivers a verbatim staging of the novel’s opening chapter (“the Benjy chapter”), Faulkner’s famous experiment with memory and language. Serving up the tragic demise of Faulkner’s Compson family with humor and pathos against a backdrop of an eerily timeless Southern living room, this ensemble of theatrical daredevils, known for their fearless commitment, breathes thrilling new life into another American literary classic.

"MAGICAL. The chance to rediscover the THRILL that came with encountering one of the GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS of Western literature for the first time." -Ben Brantley, The New York Times

"FIVE STARS! STUNNING & UTTERLY ORIGINAL." -David Cote, Time Out New York
