From: Photo Flash: First Look at George Bartenieff and More in TNC's ANOTHER LIFE, Opening Tonight

George Bartenieff plays an out-sized captain of industry who privatizes and is ultimately undone by state-sponsored torture in 'Another Life,' written and directed by Karen Malpede, a surreal play that is based on real post-9/11 events. The play, written in a fast-paced lyric language, is based on research, interviews, testimonies, the words of torturers and tortured. It has been widely praised by experts in the field of human rights for its inventiveness, power and ability to create empathy. Theater for the New City will present the piece tonight, March 28 to April 21. Below, BroadwayWorld has a first look at Bartenieff and more onstage!
