The Play: A drama of intimidation and disinformation, staged as a cat-and-mouse struggle between a Ministry Director and his female employee in Stalinist Russia.
Playwright: John W. Lowell has written nine plays: Sheridan Square, Autumn Canticle, Leo Tolstoy Is In The Next Room Dying, Two Women In A Garden, The Genius Of The System, The Letters, The Great Purim Adventure Of Chip Malibu, Taken In, and Rensselaer. His work has been featured in theatre festivals including The Denver Center Festival of New Plays, which did the premiere professional reading of The Genius of the System in 2001. Autumn Canticle has received productions at the Walnut Street Theatre and the Celebration Theatre (2003 LA GLAAD award nominee), following a workshop production with the Eureka Theatre Company. Leo Tolstoy... premiered at the San José Stages, following readings by The Acting Company, Circle Repertory Company, etc. Several of the above-noted productions and readings were directed by actor/director David Ogden Stiers. Mr. Lowell's Taken In premiered at the Richmond Triangle Players Theatre, and has since been produced to great acclaim in London and Santa Cruz. The Letters has had readings with PlayBroker and The Directors Company. Most recently, he composed the music for the world premiere of Mikhail Kuzmin's 1907 play, The Dangerous Precaution, at Theatre Rhinoceros.
Director & Producer: Dakin Matthews will produce and Anne McNaughton will direct the first stage production of this most promising playwright's new work. Norman Snow and Julia Fletcher star as the dueling pawns in an intriguing 'fight to the finish' at the office...under an oppressive regime. The production will be designed by Dean Cameron at Andak's NewPlace Studio Theatre in the NoHo Arts District.
Cast: Julia Fletcher* and Norman Snow*.
