About The Play

TUESDAY is the story of a day in the life of Audie McCall; no ordinary thing, since every day in Audie’s life is, in a way, a life in itself. Audie suffers from an extremely rare form of Korsakoff’s Syndrome, a kind of amnesia that causes him to forget everything he knows about himself every time he falls asleep. So this Tuesday morning, just like every morning, he must be painstakingly re-taught every detail of his existence. Through the course of the day, using ruthless psychodrama and insidious metaphysics, Audie’s doctors lay bare the events that brought him to the fateful night he lost his life story and the humanity the rest of us take for granted.

Awards and Mentions

“Mullin stars and jumps artfully between Audie-the-sweet-amnesiac and Audie-the-drunk-bully. As one audience member said afterward: ‘He played jazz.’ ”

The Stranger
