Press Release: A Fateful Meeting on a Train in Europe Somewhere Between France and Germany Two strangers, a writer and his admirer, find themselves on a fateful train journey from Paris to Frankfurt. In The Unexpected Man, a work by acclaimed playwright Yasmina Reza (known for "Art" and "God of Carnage"), audiences will embark on a brilliant theatrical journey exploring love and loss through the prism of personal fixations. This gripping narrative unfolds in an insular setting where worlds collide, raising questions about obsession, fanaticism, and the human condition. Directed by Slava Stepnov, produced by STEPS Theatre &amp; Art Against Humanity, and starring Roman Freud and Mickey Pantano*, the play is guaranteed to be an unforgettable experience for theatre enthusiasts. The unique story masterfully captures what goes on in the isolated compartments of human souls, where admiration meets contempt in an epic one-of-a-kind standoff. Treat yourself to this captivating production at the fully renovated IATI Theatre located in the East Village, from February 16, 2024, to February 25, 2024, for ten performances only! Tickets are available at Eventbrite. Don't miss this opportunity to witness a spellbinding exploration of the complexities of human interaction.

Singer's "Enemies, A Love Story," and the original play "Ask Joseph" by Roman Freud &amp; Slava Stepnov—an exploration of Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky's life.
