New Light Theater Project, who have just been inducted into the Indie Theater Hall of Fame for 2014 by Indie Theater Now, will present the World premiere of NO ONE LOVES US HERE by hot, up-and-coming British playwright Ross Howard. This black comedy was a finalist for the New York Stage and Film Founders Award 2012. Directed by Jerry Heymann, the show began previews January 15 and opened on January 22 at Urban Stages.
In NO ONE LOVES US HERE, Washington, a young Native American, is invited to stay in the Beaumonts' upscale guesthouse. The couple, miserable and unsatisfied in their marriage, uses Washington to help them escape their unhappiness. But when Washington begins to fall in love with Mrs. Beaumont, his manipulations pin family member against family member, leading to a climactic bloodbath. A contest for territory, No One Loves Us Here is a blackly comic portrait of love and obsession, the aspiration of displaced youth and a crumbling white-collar class. NO ONE LOVES US HERE stars Dick Hughes (Hamlet with Kevin Kline, Richard III with Al Pacino), Anthony Michael Irizarry, April Kidwell, Jessica Kitchens (Endgame/Play with Bill Irwin at ACT) and Christian Ryan (Salome at The Flea), with a design team that includes Michael O'Connor (lighting), Brian Dudkiewicz (set), Samantha Lind (costumes), Kyle C. Norris (sound design), Andrew Morton (production stage manager), and Anna Clare Kerr (assistant stage manager).For more information, visit NewLightTheaterProject.com.
