bartleby text
“I would prefer not to, he said, and gently disappeared.”
With these five words, a lowly clerk brings chaos into an orderly office. Cherished by readers worldwide, Herman Melville’s 19th century novella, Bartleby the Scrivener: A Story of Wall Street, has been the inspiration for three films, a one-act opera, a radio show, several novels, and one of Organic Theater Company's favorite productions.
“The cast gels well under Alexander Gelman's direction [in] this delightful new adaptation”
-Keith Griffith, Chicago Reader
“This production moves at a clip, makes the audience laugh, and brings new life to a classic piece.”
-J.H. Palmer, Chicago Theater Beat
