Wheelchair Will Arbery
About This Show
Gordon lives alone with a severe disability. Even though he believes himself to be one of 36 righteous people in the world, Gordon is being evicted from his apartment by his niece. Meanwhile, his apartment is convulsing into the strange slow puppetry of loss. Written and co-directed by Will Arbery, this is a new play about being one of the righteous, about being forced to change, and about feeling broken.
