QND Prods. will present the premiere of Don't Ask by Bill Quigley, for The New York International Fringe Festival – FringeNYC (August 11th – 27th) at the Henry Street Settlement Experimental Theatre, 466 Grand Street (at Pitt Street). 

The new play features Tom Flynn (who has appeared on Broadway in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, The Who's Tommy and Juan Darien) and newcomer Daniel Dugan.  It is directed by Mark Steven Robinson.

Don't Ask "is about a dangerous sexual affair between a reckless young US Army Private and his superior.  It grows truly perilous as we come to learn the horrifying truth about one of them in this dark, sexually-charged and brutal drama set during the Iraqi war...the show is an intense two-character drama dealing with power and conscience on a U.S. Army base in Iraq, set against prisoner abuse scandals," state press notes.

Quigley has written two other full-length plays, Chip Off the Moon and An Aeroplane As Far As Des Moines, as well as a handful of short plays. 

As a director, actor and associate director, Mark Steven Robinson has worked on and off Broadway, in regional theatres across the country and on network television.  Recent productions include:  The Cripple of Inishmaan and The Complete History of America-Abridged, Scapin, Zombies From The Beyond!, True West, The Complete Works of Williams Shakespeare-Abridged, Disney's Aida, A Little Night Music, Hello, Dolly!, and the southwest premier of the Irving Berlin musical I Love A Piano (visit www.markrobinson.net).
