A New Play Mulls Over Life's Big Questions While Ice Fishing

The Leonard Lopate Show | Feb 29, 2016

Oscar and Tony Award-winning actor Mark Rylance discusses his new play “Nice Fish,” which he co-wrote with poet Louis Jenkins. He's joined by co-star Jim Lichtscheidl and director Claire van Kampen. The play takes place on a frozen lake in Minnesota towards the end of ice-fishing season. As the ice begins to crack, the two fisherman enter into a surreal discourse over the meaning of life.

Event: "Nice Fish" is playing at St. Ann’s Warehouse (45 Water St, Brooklyn) in the Joseph S. and Diane H. Steinberg Theater through March 27. For tickets and show information, click here.
