[PERFORMANCE] SOME MONOLOGUES BY TYLER COBURN
Thursday 15/01, 19:00
At: rile*books

Join us for the release of Some Monologues by Tyler Coburn, a publication that gathers fifteen years of the artist’s scripts (Wendy’s Subway, 2025). On this occasion, Coburn presents a new monologue entitled People that draws influence from A Personal History of American Theatre (1980), a one-person performance by the American actor and writer Spalding Gray (1941–2004). After performing People, Coburn will be joined in conversation with artist Eoghan Ryan.
