In RED NOIR, which opens at The Living Theatre on Thursday, December 10, writer Anne Waldman combines metaphors of the film noir genre and reflections on modern life in our economically and ecologically trouble ridden war culture. Set on the Lower East Side, with an array of vivid characters whose lives intertwine, the play follows Ruby (Sheila Dabney) as she investigates a black market deal done by many greedy hands and pursues two men, Jelly (Anthony Sisco) and Bolt (Eno Edet), each carrying a valise - one filled with a nuclear or toxic substance; the other filled with the seeds of the future.
