Kurt Andersen and playwright David Ives talk about how very tiny things capture the imagination.
David Ives is a playwright who’s been called “the maestro of the short form” by the New York Times. He’s probably best known for his one-act comedies including All in the Timing and Mere Mortals. His new long-form play, Polish Joke, opens in previews at the Manhattan Theater Club on February 25th.
