Obie Award Winner Melissa James Gibson, whose play [sic]
was one of the standout plays of the Off-Broadway season in 2001,
returned to Soho Rep with her newest work Suitcase or, those
that resemble flies from a distance.
With Suitcase or, those that resemble flies from a distance
Gibson revisits the themes of transitional lives lived in transitional
spaces: her poignant and often hilarious new play revolves around
Jen and Sallie, who spend their time not finishing their dissertations
and not letting their boyfriends into their apartments.
