Jeff Britton will present the New York premiere of Martin Halpern's new play NO MOVES BACK, with previews beginning on Friday, February 20, 2009 at the Roy Arias Theatre (300 West 43rd St. 5th floor). The official opening will be on Friday, February 27, 2009. Samantha Megan Saltzman directs.
NO MOVES BACK details the happenings during a chess game between two aged classical musicians and lifelong friends - Morrie, who has sunken into a deep depression and Alan who makes every attempt to pull him out of it. Encounters with everyone from a repentant pick-pocket to a troubled young woman hell bent on performing a mercy killing on her cancer-ridden grandfather, ignite a struggle toward each man's new beginning.
