Under a Mantle of Stars

om the Author of Kiss of the Spider Woman, Manuel Puig's Under a Mantle of Stars Makes it's New York City Debut. Manuel Puig is back on the New York City theatre scene this summer with his seldom performed first stage work, Under a Mantle of Stars. A brilliant and rarely performed play informed by vivid images from films both actual and imagined, Under a Mantle of Stars is about expectations and identity--a sexy, funny and wicked dream that is never ending.
