Genghis Khan. Catherine the Great. Salome. Langston Hughes. Icarus. Tupac Amaru II. Vita Sackville-West. William Booth. They're all ready for their close-ups. Or are they?

TV Men is a new multimedia production inspired by the poetry of Anne Carson and directed by nimbus co-artistic director Josh Cragun. By placing nine larger-than-life historic and literary figures (the original celebrities) under the scrutiny of the modern media lens, the play interrogates the role of celebrity in our society. Paparazzi welcome. Britney, not so much.
