A DEVELOPMENTAL LAB PRODUCTION produced by Ripe Time and Red Bull Theatre at the 13th Street Theatre, June 25-26, 2010
Presented through “In the Raw,” Red Bull’s new work development program.
Looking through the eyes of a veteran on the verge of suicide, and a wealthy socialite whose past comes back to haunt her, this new play offers a politically charged and shockingly relevant story of war and its aftermath. Based on one of the finest anti-war novels written in the 20th century, the work features Ripe Time’s signature visually rich and kinetically charged style with an original score by Gina Leishman.
Created in collaboration with the ensemble: Jacqueline Antaramian, Craig Baldwin, Laura Butler, LeeAnne Hutchison, Paula McGonagle, Ellen McLaughlin, Guy Paul, Michael Rudko, Tommy Schrider, and Miriam Silverman.
