Queens native Jesse Eisenberg has had quite the couple of years—from a doubleshot Golden Globe/Oscar nomination for “Best Actor” in The Social Network, where he made good use of his uncanny resemblance to Internet mogul Mark Zuckerberg, to a quiet but successful foray into playwriting Off-Broadway (Asuncion). Now Eisenberg is returning to the Cherry Lane Theatre with his second drama, The Revisionist, in which he’ll portray a struggling science fiction writer who travels to Poland and meets his 75-year-old Holocaust survivor cousin, played by the legend herself, Vanessa Redgrave. Tonight, he sits down with novelist Thane Rosenbaum to discuss his career, upcoming projects, and, really, whatever you want—questions can be submitted online before the Q&A.
