I've been meaning to blog about the Flea Theater production of Kasper Hauser, written by Park Slope's Erin Courtney (co-founder of the Brooklyn Writers Space) and theater legend Elizabeth Swados.

And then the show is in the news. The real news. One of the performers in the play is a subway hero: he jumped into the subway tracks after a man who had fallen in and rescued him from an oncoming subway train.

Actor Chad Lindsay, who is currently performing in Kasper Hauser, is responsible for this heroic deed, which occurred on Monday night.

Read about this incredible rescue here.

I just heard on WNYC that one of the things this actor has to do in the play is carry another actor on his back.

Life imitating art? For more information about the play go to the Flea Theater website.
