More than two years in development, 1965UU is a solo performance by Mac Wellman (winner of numerous Obie awards, recent plays include Bitter Bierce at PS122, Jennie Richee with Ridge Theater, and Antigone with Big Dance Theater) adapted from his own group of short stories about the imaginary histories of real world asteroids (Wellman obtained a list of all the named little worlds). 1965UU was written expressly for performer Paul Lazar (of Big Dance Theater) and director Stephen Mellor (frequent Mac Wellman collaborator, received his first Obie Award in 1990 for his performance of Wellman's Terminal Hip, and his 2nd in 2003 for Wellman's Bitter Bierce).

Mr. Wellman specializes in gleeful mystification of an audience; he's a serious subverter of straightforward text, a vocabulary stretcher, a wordsmith and a word inventor, an explorer of the language galaxy, not just the known solar system—Bruce Weber, NY Times
