From the comic genius behind Curb Your Enthusiasm—a play with “a perfect second-act twist, and a solid last-minute kicker” (Vulture).
Fish in the Dark marked Seinfeld co-creator Larry David’s playwriting debut, his Broadway debut—and his first time acting on stage since eighth grade. David starred as Norman Drexel, a man in his fifties who is average in most respects, except for his hyperactive libido. As Norman, his more successful brother Arthur, their elderly mother, and a host of other characters try to navigate the death of a loved one, old acquaintances and unsettled arguments resurface—with hilarious consequences.
Larry David is an award-winning comedian, actor, and writer, as well as the cocreator of Seinfeld and the creator, producer, writer, and star of Curb Your Enthusiasm. His other television credits include Saturday Night Live and Fridays. Fish in the Dark is his first play.
