In Robert Lyons' new play a burned-out, left wing journalist retreats to the family farm hoping to find peace of mind. But when his teenage daughter follows, she brings with her all the anger he's left behind - along with her hacktivist boyfriend. When his frustrated wife shows up to negotiate their split, his newfound vision of happiness proves more elusive than he ever imagined. Death of the Liberal Class is a captivating, intimate and thrillingly dark domestic comedy about liberal parenting, capitalist co-option, and losing (or finding) your edge. Death of the Liberal Class is inspired by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges's book of the same name, and the title is used with his blessing. New Ohio Theatre's Artistic Director Robert Lyons says, "It's great to be back in the playwright's seat with an original play for the first time since we moved from the "old" Ohio Theatre on Wooster Street. The very last show we did there was one of my plays, so for me, personally, this feels like our transition to our new space is complete!" The cast includes Steven Rattazzi ("The Venture Bros.", Indecent at Vineyard and Yale Rep, Galileo at CSC), Jeanette Dilone (James White, Sundance Best of Next Winner), Olivia Horton (Deliver Us From Evil with Eric Bana, Tiny Dynamite at 59E59), Melissa Murray (Playboy of the West Indies at Lincoln Center Theater), Justin Colón, and Arthur Aulisi (20 year veteran of the downtown NYC theatre scene, including the award-winning adobe theater company). The production team includes Jason Simms (Set Design), Seth Reiser (Lighting Design), Andrea Hood (Costume Design), M. Florian Staab (Sound Design), Rebecca Phillips (Props Design) and Heather Arnson (Production Stage Manager).Photo credit: Steven Schreiber
