In the words of Mona Pirnot—whose new play, I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan, pays homage to the multi-talented actor and playwright—“ theater is not just about the thing seen and the thing heard: it’s also about the thing felt.” When Pirnot, 32, watched Greenspan star in a revival of The Patsy, she was so inspired that she dove into Greenspan’s vast archive. She read everything he’d written and watched recordings of some of his older performances. I’m Assuming You Know David Greenspan sits at the intersection of a personal obsession and professional disillusionment. “I want to write a play about how much I love the work of David Greenspan, written in the style of David Greenspan, as a tribute to David Greenspan, for David Greenspan,” says one of Pirnot’s characters. Greenspan embodies four different millennial women as they update each other about their lives and kvetch about their careers, positioning the play somewhere between a female group chat and a wistful meditation on the precarity of art-making. —Rhoda Feng
