This darkly funny, sharply intimate portrait chronicles the strained ties between a son and his aging mother... 

and the hell of a guilty conscience.

 

​THE TREASURER was featured in American Theater Magazine and nominated for the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding New Play after it's 2017 critically-acclaimed, sold-out run off Broadway at Playwrights Horizons. The production was included on year-end “best-of” lists in New York Magazine, The New York Times and TimeOut New York.

​

…tender and unforgiving…the play adroitly balances the everyday and the

extreme — while suggesting how crisis pushes reality into the realm of nightmares…

The New York Times

 

…a quiet revelation. …It makes boundaries porous, creates a space that blends

the mundane and the mystic, that slips between the life of the moment and the

life of the mind, even obscures the border between life and whatever comes after

… quite simply, a marvel.

New York Magazine

 

….something of a ‘Glass Menagerie’ forty years on, with an unlikely but welcome

touch of Neil Simon… (Posner) displays a brightly contemporary point of view with

a keen comic sense.
