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.
