Soho Think Tank | Robert Lyons
PUZZLING EVIDENCE
September 9 – 11 2024
Written & Directed by Robert Lyons
Featuring Rhys Tivey & Folami Williams
Two left-wing activists tour their “Post-Capitalist Realism” concert – singing, reciting beat poetry, and
free associating an anti-capitalist manifesto. But mostly they struggle to work through their complicated
relationship – on stage during the show! A quirky, funny, mini-musical with live music.
Robert Lyons is Artistic Director of Soho Think Tank and a NYC playwright who writes dark, satirical

York City premieres to his credit, most recently My Onliness (“A welcome gust of weird” New York
Times). His other new play classdismissed.edu will premiere at La Mama (NYC) in Spring 2025.
