Lighthouse Theatre Company Presents 'Night Maneuver'
By: Faetra Petillo
The Lighthouse Theatre Company presents "Night Maneuver" by Howard Korder, Off Broadway at The American Theatre of Actors at 314 West 54th Street (bet 8th & 9th Ave.). Previews begin on Wednesday, August 27th, 2008 and the opening is Friday, August 29th at 8:00 p.m for the limited engagement of this revival. It is directed by Tom Bain, with lighting design by Judy Merrick and costume design by Brittany Holmes and stars Anthony Caronna, and Alexander Smith.
"Night Maneuver" is the story of Lou, a 26 year-old auto parts clerk and his 18 year-old brother, Tim. The two share a roach infested run down studio apartment in one of America's biggest cities. It becomes apparent both are not playing with a full deck of cards. Tim is an emotional infant, and Lou is an outrageously perverse sociopathic who trade banter that touches on sex, booze and the almost mythical exploits of their older brother, Monty. There is a drug deal unfolding around the two that could possibly change both their lives forever. As the lies and deceit begin, they both try to claw their way without the other one realizing what's going on for a showdown of sibling rivalry halfway between life and death. Written in 1982 this play was one of the first of Howard Korder's career and has not been staged in New York City until now. Some of Howard Korder's other plays include "Boys' Life" (which is being revived this season), "Five Very Live," and "The Lights".Videos
