This Week on Stage: An actor breaks a leg, old Jews tell jokes, and a 'Cock' fight wows Off Broadway
That old actor’s adage “Break a leg” is not supposed to be taken literally. But that message apparently didn’t make it to Michael McKean, the Laverne & Shirley and This is Spinal Tap alum now starring in the hit Broadway revival Gore Vidal’s The Best Man. The actor was hospitalized Tuesday with a broken leg after being struck by a car in New York City; James Lecesne will be playing his role as a presidential campaign manager for the foreseeable future.

Awkward, puzzled, and slightly amused, Conor Lovett shuffles onto the stage, addressing the audience. "I'm not from here," he says and seems to smile. "I never will be, I guess." Thus begins Will Eno's newest solo play, exploring connection, disconnection, and the meaning of "home." "Title and Deed," now running at the Pershing Square Signature Center, is profoundly Beckettian, not unlike Eno's previous work, "Middletown" and, especially, "Thom Pain (based on nothing)."Eno wrote the piece for Lovett and Lovett's wife, director Judy Hegarty Lovett. They're Irish-born theater artists who specialize in monologues by Samuel Beckett and other one-man shows with existential themes. Under the auspices of their company, Gare St. Lazare Players, they've presented productions in every continent, short of Antarctica.How did Will Eno come to write "Title and Deed" for you?Conor Lovett: He saw me in Beckett's "The End," which Judy directed and he's seen three or four of.
