From the TR WARSZAWA Polish theater company.

"The best international theater New York still needs to see"
- The Village Voice

Presented by St. Ann's Warehouse in association with the Polish Cultural Institute in New York.


June 17 - 29 9PM

Tobacco Warehouse
Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, DUMBO

"A masterB- of suspense, the heir of Hitchcock, Jarzyna composes his performances like movies."
- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

TR Warszawa, Poland's most exciting theater company, arrives in New York with a spectacular production of Macbeth that boldly reinvents Shakespeare's classic for the twenty-first century.

With a huge cinematic sweep, the production takes multi-media theater to the limit. A dramatic two-story set, video walls, special effects, and a deep well of acting tradition transform Shakespeare's web of intimacy, politics and the supernatural into a contemporary living film.

For this production, St. Ann's Warehouse will create an outdoor theater in the Civil War-era Tobacco Warehouse, located in Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park, across the street from St. Ann's Warehouse.

Jarzyna heightens his Macbeth with an extraordinary, layered soundscape of original music, pop songs, atmospheric and recorded sound effects. Because of ambient noise from the Brooklyn Bridge and the waterfront, the entire sound design will be mixed live each night with the spoken text of the actors onstage, and amplified through a network of individual headsets to be worn by each audience member.

STITCHING

EXTENDED TO AUGUST 2!

Stitching -- A twisted love story

by 'In Your Face' playwright Anthony Neilson

The Controversial Play that Shocked the UK

Starring Meital Dohan (Weeds, Bath Party)& Gian Murray Gianino (Roadhouse, Fatal Attraction, The Jaded Assassin, Nightmare Haunted House)

Directed by Timothy Haskell

Adamanto Productions and Electric Pear Productions in association with Liebman Entertainment


"Anthony Neilson's Stitching is one of the most exciting plays of the year... I left the theatre with my pulse, and my mind racing."
- Time Out London

A limited Off-Broadway run of the U.S. premiere of Stitching - a twisted tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat - by British playwright Anthony Neilson.

Stu and Abby love each other so madly, they're driving each other crazy. Stitching follows the increasingly disturbing and inventive games the couple plays in order to connect. As they circle and test each other, they role-play with reality and fantasy to the point where even they don't seem sure what is real anymore. When Abby discovers she's pregnant, the choices they make will haunt them forever. The visceral poetry and physicality between the lovers creates a surprisingly tender, often humorous, brutal romance. Stitching is a complex love story that takes a bracing look at the startling casualties of modern romance.

The play stars renowned Israeli actress Meital Dohan, recently seen as 'Yael Hoffman,' the sexy rabbinical scholar, in the hit Showtime series, Weeds.

"Dohan has a sharp wit and notable ability to find the unlikely joke."
- The Village Voice

"Gianino brings a focus and power to the stage."
- Variety

SPECIAL TONY AWARD: Robert Russell Bennett (1894-1981)

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE

SINGLE BLACK FEMALE, by Lisa B. Thompson, directed by Colman Domingo, and co-starring Soara-Joye Ross and Riddick Marie, takes a comic look at the pleasures and perils of being a single middle class black woman who's got everything she wants and needs except more R-E-S-P-E-C-T -- and a man! The play mines topics such as dating (on the Internet and the old-fashioned way!), gynecology, family gatherings, shopping, racial bias, white folks and, poignantly, the odd sense of loss a black woman feels when she does find a man and leaves her single sisters behind.

June 10 - 29, 2008
Tuesday - Saturday 8:00 pm
Saturday and Sunday 2:00 pm


Single Black Female stars Soara-Joye Ross (Jerry Springer: The Opera at Carnegie Hall, Dessa Rose at Lincoln Center, Dance of the Vampires on Broadway) and Riddick Marie (A House with No Walls at New Repertory Theatre, Faust at the Metropolitan Opera). Director Colman Domingo, whose acting credits include Well and Passing Strange on Broadway, has directed productions at Geva Theatre and the Tony Award-winning Berkeley Rep.

Playwright Lisa B. Thompson is the author of Monroe; Dreadtime Stories: One Sista’s Hair; and her newest play Underground.

New Professional Theatre – the New York-based company that is home to minority playwrights and theatre artists – presents the limited Off-Broadway return engagement of Single Black Female, back by popular demand.
