Photo Flash: First Look at Altruistic Theatre's COMMITTED, Opening Tonight at Theatre at the 14th Street Y
Committed - a fictionalized account of the last two days of the Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh - written by Natalie Menna and directed by Brock Harris Hill concerns Van Gogh worked with the Somali-born writer and politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali to produce the short film, Submission (2004), which exposed the treatment of women, and resulted in an outrage from the Dutch Muslim community. He was murdered in November of 2004.
The play explores the inevitable tragedy when artistic radical temperament collides with religious and political realities. Can friendship, family, or love save Theo from his biggest threat - himself?" The cast features Brad J. Fryman, Ivette Dumeng, Francisco Solorzano, and Philip Schneider.
