Photo Flash: First Look at THE INVISIBLE HAND at KC Rep
By: BWW News Desk Oct. 20, 2016
Kansas City Repertory Theatre continues its 2016-2017 season with The Invisible Hand by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Ayad Akhtar directed by KC Rep's Producing Director Jerry Genochio. KC Rep audiences that last saw Akhtar's acclaimed comedy The Who & The What in 2014 will now experience Akhtar's internationally lauded political thriller. Performances began on October 14, and BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!
In The Invisible Hand, an American banker is taken hostage in Pakistan by captors seeking a ransom - but instead of capturing a high level executive, they mistakenly take Nick Bright, a mid-level trader for whom his country and company will not negotiate. The three captors and their hostage strike a deal: Nick can save his own life if he can earn his ransom through stock market trades. This intense thriller reveals the complicated truth behind our simple perceptions of good versus evil and East vs. West, as we discover that the invisible hand that moves the global market is more easily manipulated than Nick's captors believe. The Invisible Hand performances begin Oct. 14 at the Copaken Stage, located downtown Kansas City, in the Power & Light District.
The ensemble cast, drawn from Kansas City and across the country, includes: Jason Chanos as Nick Bright, Neal Gupta as Dar, Andrew Ramcharan Guilarte as Bashir, and Rock Kohli as Imam Saleem.
Performances began Friday, October 14 and run through Sunday, November 13 at the Copaken Stage. Press night is scheduled for Opening Night is tomorrow, October 21. Appropriate for ages 16+. Adult content and language.
