The West Coast Premiere of Brett Neveu's dark dramedy 4 MURDERS offers an examination of urban isolation and the convenient yet tragic cure for such loneliness. It is a surreal discussion of images, impressions and ideas that poke through the clutter of the day-to-day. The normalcy of eating dinner, drinking tea, waiting for a bus or falling to sleep is interrupted by thoughts of mortality, and 4 MURDERS seeks to embody and physically articulate those thoughts. If the darkness itself were physically able to converse, those conversations would be much like what is heard in 4 MURDERS; for once we begin to speak to the darkness, our biggest fear is that the darkness may just speak back.

Written by SkyPilot resident playwright Brett Neveu, known for such critically acclaimed productions like RED BUD at The Royal Court Theatre, London, England, GAS FOR LESS at The Goodman Theatre, Chicago, IL, OLD GLORY at the Victory Theatre, Burbank, CA and AMERICAN DEAD at the Rogue Machine Theatre Company, Los Angeles, CA. "4 MURDERS was written as an exploration of modern urban fear and what horrors lay in The Shadows of our darkened city streets." says Brett.

Directed by James Sharpe, who directed SkyPilot's critically acclaimed productions of SEXUAL PERVERSITY IN CHICAGO by David Mamet, and THE END OF CIVILIZATION by George F. Walker.

Starring Eric Curtis Johnson, Heather Roop, Germaine De Leon, Morgan Lariah and Guy Mack.

4 MURDERS is the fourth production in SkyPilot's first season of exclusively producing premiere plays, including the critically acclaimed YES SVETLANA THERE IS A GRANDFATHER FROST and THE EMANCIPATION OF ALABASTER MCGILL, both by Jeff Goode, and just recently, the sold-out TO THE NEW GIRL by Samantha Macher.

SkyPilot Theatre Company is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering new relationships with provocative playwrights to develop the most compelling, challenging and humorous new plays for the Los Angeles theatre going audience.

4 MURDERS runs from October 15 thru November 20, 2011, Saturdays 8pm, Sundays 7pm at T.U. Studios, 10943 Camarillo st., North Hollywood CA 91602. Tickets are $20 general admission. To purchase visit www.SKYPILOTTHEATRE.com or call 800-838-3006. View the trailer at http://youtu.be/099AJ4QmA9c.
