Creativity Fund: Carlos Murillo's The Javier Plays

Carlos Murillo

The Javier Plays by Carlos Murillo is an inventive and epic trilogy concerning a fictional playwright named Javier C. and delving into themes of authenticity, truth, and self-made mythology. This work has been developed at Steppenwolf’s First Look, Atlantic Studio’s MixFest, Playtime at New Dramatists, Sundance Theater Lab, Page 73, and Watermill Center, among others. The week is being directed by the indefatigable Kip Fagan and we have an outstanding company of actors, many of who are cast in two plays. Each piece stands alone so come to one of these remarkable plays-or better, all three of them.
