Gene Frankel Theatre Closes HOSTAGES 1/24

The newly accoutered Gene Frankel Theatre will be host to another Miscreant Theatre production: the New York premiere of HOSTAGES, a contemporary dark comedy by acclaimed playwright Yussef El-Guindi. The production will close 1/24.

Award-winning director Jack Young; currently heading the University of Houston's graduate program and former artistic director of both the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival and The Warehouse Theatre leads Miscreant Theatre founder-actors, Jacob Knoll (The Creditors) and Jeff Barry (The Creditors, Ivanov), along with Peter Macklin, in the telling of this explosive and timely play.

In Hostages, two British professors have left their homeland for a war-zone. They are there on a mission of peace, but peace is hard to find when you are chained to a radiator. Playwright El-Guindi presents a powerful telling of human behavior at its basest, exploring the intricacies of human nature when it is deprived of personal contact and torn from the pleasantries of every day life.

The performance schedule is through January 24th, SUN 8:00pm.

HOSTAGES will run at the Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond St., NYC).

Tickets will be $18.00 general admission and $12.00 for students. As part of Miscreant's mission, the first eight people who sign up to see the show an hour before curtain will be admitted for free.
