Cause Célèbre, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to causes and charity, proudly announces the launch of Part Time Productions and its inaugural presentation, A Battle of Wills: Internal and External.

This debut production consists of three one-act plays featuring award-winning actors, writers and directors.

Performances will run on consecutive Sundays from May 31 - June 21 at The Acorn @ Theatre Row.

The show leads with This is On Me, the work of Oscar-nominated screenwriter Dorothy Parker adapted by Emmy-Award® winning writer Tom Fontana and directed by Antony Marsellis. An endless battle with men and alcohol fueled the writing of Dorothy Parker. Tom Fontana, having explored the dark side of human nature through his acclaimed television hits "Oz," "Homicide" and "St. Elsewhere," is the perfect writer to probe the pathos and poignancy of Parker's work.

The show continues with Ashes to Ashes, written by Nobel-prize winning playwright Harold Pinter and directed by Christopher Hart. In this extraordinary play, a wife's torment has a profound impact upon her husband, as reality and the inner-workings of her mind become indistinguishable. Regardless of their origin, the wife's troubled thoughts and images are very real - to her.

Love Divided By, written by award-winning writer Susan Charlotte and directed by Emmy-Award® winner John Shea, concludes the show. During this compelling drama, the audience watches as a sister gives in to her brother's desperate pleas to meet, only to discover why she has pushed him away.

The film version, with original music by Philip Glass, was selected to reopen MoMA's Titus II Theatre.
