Written and directed by Obie and New York Outer Critics Circle Award-winner/DGA Award, two-time Golden Globe and five-time Emmy Award nominee Robert Allan Ackerman, the world premiere of BLOOD, based on the real-life 'Japanese Tainted Blood Scandal,' gets a five-week run beginning March 5 at The Complex on Hollywood's Theater Row. Featuring original music and songs by 'The Virgins' bassist Nick Ackerman and 'Jet' drummer/vocalist Chris Cester, BLOOD marks the debut production of L.A.'s newest theater company, The Garage.
