THE CHARIOTEER World Premiere to Open at the Cell Theatre
Dan Giles' new play, directed by Matt Dickson, explores a brother-sister relationship at the cell.
Amanda + James and the cell will present the World Premiere of The Charioteer by Dan Giles (1969: The Second Man at NYTW Next Door; Breeders with New Light Theatre Project), directed by Matt Dickson (Drama Desk Award-nominee for Garside's Career with Mint Theater; Drama League Award-nominee for Where Did We Sit on the Bus? at Actors Theatre of Louisville) at the cell, October 28-November 22.

Growing up, Charly's older brother was her protector and role model, but they've barely spoken since he went away to college. When she tags along to a bewildering night out with his new friends, she discovers that Owen is deep into a political transformation that she doesn't understand. Ten years later, he needs her help. But first, she needs answers. The Charioteer follows a brother and sister on the brink of catastrophe, learning how to fight with-and for-the people they love.
