David Greenspan plays a demon sent spinning through time on a mission of salvation in “Go Back to Where You Are,” his endearingly daffy new play at the Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Playwrights Horizons. This particular demon was originally a failed actor from ancient Greece named Passalus, and on his sojourn in the 21st century he finds it useful to transform himself into a genteel British matron and former actress named Constance Simmons. All of this whimsy means that Mr. Greenspan the playwright has concocted a honey of a part for Mr. Greenspan the actor, one that allows him to deploy multiple voices and display multiple facets of his baroque, androgynous stage persona.

As the people at this house party keep noting in asides to the audience: "There’s no chronology to this play." True enough. There’s also no definitive sense of place, or even a clear delineation of character, as the individual players in this well-cast ensemble keep slipping out of their roles to emerge in other parts. In fact, as one character takes care to inform us, the play isn’t even written yet, because the playwright is "still looking for a form to tell this story."

Sometimes the only way to make a fresh start is to face what you most fear; although some divine intervention on your behalf wouldn’t hurt.

"This is kind of a weird play," announces the actor portraying Bernard, a dramatist, in "Go Back to Where You Are." The term "fantastical" also comes up. No wonder. The 70-minute one-act by David Greenspan at Playwrights Horizons follows modern-day theater folks who are visited by a dead Greek actor on a mission from God.

David Greenspan is a unique presence on New York’s theatrical landscape. He’s played many support roles on and Off-Broadway and with his unique mannerisms and way of speaking often adds memorable touches of humor (his Queen Elizabeth in Rarah Rule’s Orlando and his butler in The Royal Family come to mind).
