A STEADY RAIN | February 2-26, 2012
West Coast premiere | By Keith Huff
Denny and Joey are two of Chicago’s less-than-finest—one’s a racist bully, the other, a spineless drunk. In this uncompromising neo-noir crime drama, the two beat cops confess to the misdeeds and mistakes that have tipped their lives into violent chaos. Their lifelong friendship, their badges and Denny’s family all come under fire after a bitter street hustler gets shaken down one too many times. This lurid Broadway hit will have you holding your breath with its in-your-face storytelling, but it will also touch your heart as it sympathetically explores the complex relationship of these two deeply flawed men.
OTHELLO, THE MOOR OF VENICE | March 29-April 22, 2012
By William Shakespeare
Experience Shakespeare at his most taut and tense as we pit two of the best actors in the Bay Area against each other in psychological single combat. Don’t miss Aldo Billingslea as Othello and Craig Marker as Iago in our first production by the Bard on our intimate stage. With 20 Shakespeare productions under his belt, Artistic Director Jasson Minadakis helms this tragic, timeless tale of love, deceit, jealousy and murder.
GOD OF CARNAGE | May 24-June 17, 2012
By Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
The hysterical hit Broadway comedy is finally coming to the North Bay! You’ve never laughed so hard until you’ve seen this action-packed, knockout farce, which won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Play and 2009 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy. Following a playground fight between their 11-year-old sons, the Raleighs agree to meet the Novaks to discuss the situation civilly. However, the veneer of middle-class manners soon falls away as the couples regress to childish accusations, bullying and bickering.
