THE OTHER SIDE playwright Ariel Dorfman will be featured on WKCRs Composed on the Tongue on Sunday, December 11 from 9 PM  9:30 PM (89.9 FM).

MTCs production of THE OTHER SIDE will open December 13, 2006 at New York City Center -- Stage I (131 West 55th Street).

Directed by Blanka Zizka, the cast features (in alphabetical order): John Cullum (Atom Roma), Gene Farber (Guard), and RoseMary Harris (Levana Julak).

Near the border of two war-torn countries, a man (Cullum) and a woman (Harris) wait, passing their days identifying the casualties of war and hoping for the return of their son who ran away 20 years ago. When peace is established and a border guard (Farber) arrives, their bleakly predictable world unravels. Dorfmans moving, unexpectedly comic work challenges the fragile identities we wrap ourselves in amid the chaos of war and an even more chaotic peace. THE OTHER SIDE had its world premiere at the New National Theatre in Tokyo, Japan in April 2004 and will also open in London in 2006 with Sir Peter Hall directing.

The performance schedule for THE OTHER SIDE is: Tuesday through Saturday at 8:00 PM, with matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 2:00 PM, and Sunday evening performances at 7:00 PM. STARTING DECEMBER 19: Tuesday through Saturday at 8:00 PM, with matinees on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday at 2:00 PM.
