Aaron Craig to Direct BETRAYAL at NoHo Arts Center, 4/24-5/17
Best known as the Tank Soldier in the very last scene of "LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL" the Award-winning film by Roberto Benigni, as well as countless other Italian Films & Theatre productions. Craig has now settled back in the United States and is taking on the role of Director for Pinter's well-loved "Betrayal".
Betrayal" will blend together three alumni of the prestigious Pacific Conservatory for the Performing Arts (pcpa.org) for a uniquely modern perspective on this renowned classic. Blending inventive touches like a live, on-stage band and a photography exhibit showcasing the actors' creative process, director Aaron Craig is putting his own inspired spin on the play. "The mood of Motown is the perfect counterpoint to Pinter's taut and titillating intense writing."
Aaron Craig (director) recently moved back to his native California from Italy, where he worked in theater and film as a director, teacher and actor. As co-artistic director of the Florence International Theatre Company and later as the artistic director of Performance International, Aaron directed Agnes of God, A Comedy of Erros, Talking Heads and The Dumbwaiter. He has appeared in film and television in Europe, most notably in Roberto Benigni's La Vita e' Bella (playing the Tank Soldier in the final scene of the film).
