What happens to childhood fears when they are allowed to follow us into adulthood? In Next Time, I'll Take the Stairs, three adult siblings find their way into a mysterious world inhabited by two duplicitous strangers. Reviewing a work-in-progress showing at this summer's FURY Factory festival, Synchronized Chaos wrote: "Brilliantly written and choreographed, often brain-achingly funny, this Alice-in-Wonderland journey is a whirlwind of mischievous non-sequiturs...marvelous and memorable."
Next Time, I'll Take the Stairs is an original play created by Jenny McAllister in collaboration with 13th Floor. Built for five actors, the play experiments with seemingly nonsense language juxtaposed against exciting, character-based physicality.
Since 2010 McAllister has premiered six plays, marrying text and movement in unusual ways including Bloomsbury/It's Not Real, which sets Virginia Woolf and the Bloomsbury Group inside a reality television premise Being Raymond Chandler, about the iconic detective fiction writer as he struggles to write A Wake, inspired by James Joyce's final novel, Finnegans Wake and most recently The Broken Knife, riffing off ancient Greek and Norse mythology.
Next Time, I'll Take the Stairs features performances by Colin Epstein, Zach Fischer, Julie Mahony and David Silpa together with McAllister. Keriann Egeland returns as costume designer, with Allen Willner as lighting designer.
