Production History



IRS - I WANT YOU



A collaboratively developed play
Written by Gary Graves
Directed by Jan Zvaifler


Show opened July 17th, 1998 and ran through August 23rd at the Santa Fe Bar & Grill in Berkeley.

Cast included: Rica Anderson, Deborah Fink, Calum Grant, and Dominic Riley.




IRS-I Want You, is a journey into the agency we all love to hate. The news is full of IRS " horror stories, " and every day more fantastic charges come to light. Witnesses at the recent congressional hearings accused the IRS of abuses ranging from agents forced to meet " collection quotas, " to armed raids by agents with drug sniffling dogs. Join reporter Nick Lansing on a perilous journey into the mad world of the Internal Revenue Service.

IRS-I Want You is written by Gary Graves, author of two previous Central Works scripts, The Golden Era and an adaptation of Racine's Andromache.

IRS-I Want You is part of the project, " Plays for the Third Millennium." The goal of the project is to create a body of work over the next three years, written and produced employing the Central Works method for collaborative play development, and with the future intent of publishing a volume of collective works. Last summer with Roux, we established our play development model, which we have employed again in a modified format to create IRS-I Want You.




"It's a clever, tightly staged show...a compelling piece of theater..."
--Christopher Hawthorne, Express

"IRS-I Want You is definitely on the must see list for theatergoers craving intellectual challenge and stimulating productions."

"...a well-honed product..."
--Carol Egan, Hills Publications

"Dominic Riley and Calum Grant shine..."
--Kerry Reid, Backstage West
