It feels like real bonding in the basementbut will their relationship ever make it upstairs? A winner of the Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Solo Show, Buyer & Cellar is an outrageous comedy about the price of fame, the cost of things, and the oddest of odd jobs. ';Jonathan Tolins has concocted an irresistible one-man play from the most peculiar of fictitious premises... This seriously funny slice of absurdist whimsy creates the illusion of a stage filled with multiple people, all of them with their own droll point of view.' The New York Times ';A gorgeous play: funny and beautifully observed and richly insightful.' Moises Kaufman ';Tolins's writing is smart, sharp, and hilariousand he paints a vivid picture that even a perfectionist like Barbra would have to applaud.' James Lapine
