Production

Jeff just worked with Academy Award winning director Jonathan Demme (Rachel Getting Married, Philadelphia, Silence of the Lambs) on a film of Andre Gregory and Wallace Shawn’s THE MASTER BUILDER. The working title of the project is “Wally and André Shoot Ibsen.”

Here’s a great link to a very nice article about it in The New York Times.

The cast includes: Andrew Gregory, Wallace Shawn, Julie Hagerty, Larry Pine, Lisa Joyce and Emily McDonnell. (3/12/12-4/6/12)

Jeff performed in The New Group’s world-premiere production of Thomas Bradshaw’s play, BURNING, directed by Scott Elliot. (10/26/11-12/17/11)

 ”It doesn’t seem right to call the zone that’s occupied by Thomas Bradshaw’s “Burning” a gray area. This repellent and magnetic play, which opened on Monday night at the Acorn Theater in a New Group production, is way too lurid to be gray. But perhaps more than any American dramatist working today, Mr. Bradshaw walks — no, make that tramples — the lines that divide the good, the bad and the plug-ugly, both in art and in life. He aspires to amuse, shock, disgust, enlighten, bore and titillate you all at the same time… “Burning” challenges people to sort through their reactions in ways theater seldom does these days.”
- Ben Brantley, The New York Times

 

“Jeff Biehl does such good work in the role of a gallery curator, it’s a dirty shame he was passed over for a sex scene.”
- Marilyn Stasio, Variety

“…one of the sharper and more incisive new plays I’ve seen this season… Jeff Biehl and Melle Powers are especially strong as an interracial couple of intellectuals bewildered by their new lives as freelancers.”
