August 29 - October 12, 2008
An
acclaimed writer for both stage and screen, Academy Award-nominee
Michael Weller’s (Moonchildren, Spoils of War, Loose

is a blood-red road adventure directed by Jo Bonney (Fat

THE GRAND INQUISITOR
From Dostoyevsky’s The Brothers Karamazov
Adapted by Marie-Hélène Estienne
Featuring Bruce Myers
Direction - Peter Brook
October 22 - November 23, 2008
Renowned director Peter Brook (Marat/Sade, The Mahabharata)
continues his long time collaboration with the renowned actor
Bruce Myers (The Mahabharata, The Unbearable Lightness of
Being) in Marie-Hélène Estienne’s (French

of The Brothers Karamazov. Together, they bring Dostoyevsky’s
chilling parable about the perversion of religious faith to life.

THINGS OF DRY HOURS
Text - Naomi Wallace
Direction - Ruben Santiago-Hudson
Spring 2009
Recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship and an OBIE Award, among many
other awards, playwright and poet Naomi Wallace (The Fever Chart,
One Flea Spare) follows up the NYTW production of Trestle
at Pope Lick Creek with this powerful and poetic examination
of the unintended conflict between race and ideology. In Depression-era
Alabama, black Sunday school teacher and Communist Party member
Tice Hogan lives on the edge of trouble. When a white factory worker
on the run demands sanctuary, Tice and his daughter Cali may be
pushed over that edge. Award-winning actor/writer/producer Ruben
Santiago-Hudson (Lackawanna Blues, and Tony Award-winner
for Seven Guitars) directs. |
OFF
AGAIN: The Off-Broadway Musical Series
Stemming directly from our mission to produce work by artists
whose visions provoke and challenge all of us, OFF AGAIN
will examine the history of Off-Broadway musicals as a body of
work and their impact over time. While exact titles and dates
are still being determined, NYTW plans to hold a concert series
of two or three musicals that represent a diversity of artists,
forms, and traditional notions of “success.” The concerts
will have short runs. Currently under consideration are: Promenade
(1969), written by Maria Irene Fornes and composed by Al Carmines;
Iphigenia In Concert
by Peter Link, which will be directed by Annie Dorsen (Passing
Strange); and The Waves,
written by Lisa Peterson (based on Virginia Woolf’s The
Waves) and composed by David Bucknam.
The
2008/09 Season will be the inaugural year for what NYTW plans
to be an ongoing annual series. Please note: OFF AGAIN
is not part of the 3-Play Member package and SmartPass tickets
will not be valid for these performances. All NYTW Members and
SmartPass holders will receive an exclusive opportunity to purchase
tickets at a discounted price before they go on sale to the general
public. |
