Photo Flash: Playwrights Horizons' Blue Door

Tanya Barfield's drama Blue Door, in its New York premiere, began performances at Playwrights Horizons' Peter Jay Sharp Theatre on September 28th; it runs through October 29th.

"When a prominent African-American mathematician in crisis begins to lose his grip on reality, the ghosts of ancestors past shatter the serenity of an insomnia-filled night. Blue Door is a tour-de-force for two actors, a vivid, exuberantly theatrical play about the black American male experience," state press materials. 

Reg E. Cathey (The Green Bird, Fool's Fire, "The Wire") and recent NYU Acting Program Graduate Andre Holland (Shakespeare in the Park As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing) headline the show, which is directed by Leigh Silverman.
