DESCRIPTION:

Drama Desk Nomination, Outstanding Director of a Play

Waterwell puts its signature irreverent stamp on an obscure play by one of America’s greatest dramatists, Eugene O’Neill. Based on the thirteenth century travels of Marco Polo, the original play was the story of a Westerner encountering the East and the collision of cultures and economies that follows. Featuring a wealth of live music, Marco Millions (based on lies) is a freewheeling, kaleidoscopic ride that confronts head on questions of class and race that are as pressing now as they were in 1928…or 1271.
