The Revisionist, the second play by the award-winning actor and regular New Yorker contributor Jesse Eisenberg, is a stunning exploration of obsession, secrets, and the nature of family. The play had its world premiere at the Cherry Lane Theatre in New York in spring 2013, starring Jesse Eisenberg and Vanessa Redgrave and directed by Kip Fagan. In The Revisionist, young writer David arrives in Poland with a crippling case of writer's block and a desire to be left alone. His seventy-five-year-old second cousin Maria welcomes him with a fervent need to connect with her distant American family. As their relationship develops, she reveals details about her postwar past that test their ideas of what it means to be a family.
Jesse Eisenberg is an Academy Award nominated actor, playwright and humorist for The New Yorker. For his first play, Asuncion, he was nominated for a Drama League Award. He has appeared in the films Now You See Me, The Social Network, Adventureland, Zombieland, The Squid and the Whale and Roger Dodger.
