“A quirky charmer of a play [that] contains, beneath its homely
surfaces, larger meanings that glide softly into your mind and
heart.”—The New York Times (Critics’ Pick) On a frozen Minnesota
lake, the ice is beginning to creak and groan. It’s the end of the
fishing season and on the frostbitten, unforgiving landscape, two
friends are out on the ice, angling for something big, something down
there that, had it the wherewithal, could swallow them whole. With the
existentialism of a Beckett two-hander but set in the icy and folksy
depths of the Midwest, Nice Fish is a unique portrayal of a
friendship forged out of boredom, bad jokes, and an ability to wait
for a really nice fish. Nice Fish premiered at the American
Repertory Theater in Cambridge Massachusetts, directed by Claire van
Kampen; played to rave reviews in a sold-out extended run in New York
in February 2016 at St. Ann’s Warehouse, starring Mark Rylance and
Jim Lichtscheidl, and featuring Louis Jenkins; and transferred to
London for a run in the West End at the Harold Pinter Theatre,
beginning in November 2016.
