NEW YORK—Is “Nice Fish” mere whimsy or something deeper? That depends on one’s view of life, possibly.
Two middle-aged men, Ron (Mark Rylance) and his friend Erik (Jim Lichtscheidl), go ice fishing on a frozen lake in Minnesota. Their talk meanders around many things—mostly unimportant things. Perhaps unimportant to some, important to others.
The play, co-written by Mark Rylance and poet Louis Jenkins, has been adapted from Jenkins's book about ice fishing in Minnesota.
