'A Blanket of Dust' is the story of a modern day Antigone. The daughter of a U.S. Senator seeks justice for her husband, who has died in the World Trade Center. Her ordeal drives her to the outer fringes of society. After struggling to establish facts that the government, the media, her family and her countrymen deny, she protests with a harrowing act of sacrificial tragedy. The play's world premiere will be presented Off-Broadway by Delphi Film from June 6 to 30 at The Flea Theater Mainstage, 20 Thomas Street, directed by Chris Murrah.
Taking place at a time when the tech industry's mergers, acquisitions and IPOs are contributing to a boom or bust environment, LIFE LIST portrays a business market in FREE-FALL! Its silver-spoon investors clash with entrepreneurs leading a start-up company worth millions, as they wield sarcasm, sharpened pens and other weapons of financial destruction. Alliances are forged as broken promises threaten fragile relationships between the executives, board members, and employees. The characters' struggles for ascendency, a moral high ground and at times, their very survival, create humorous byplay and dynamic action with unexpected twists and turns.

Anyone familiar with the career of three-time Tony-nominee Marc Kudisch knows two things about him; 1) he is one of the most talented stage actors of his generation, and 2) he is as passionate as he is talented. Despite more than two decades of success on the New York stage, including 13 Broadway and seven Off-Broadway shows, countless readings, benefits, and concerts, and additional regional productions, the actor has been popping up on television much more frequently recently. Partly by choice, and partly because of the evolving landscapes of theatre and television, Kudisch has consciously made on-screen roles more a part of his plan in recent years, in fact, he begins an explosive Season 2 arc on Showtime's BILLIONS tonight as the new Axe Capital corporate therapist, Dr. Gus. BILLIONS airs on Sundays at 10p/9c.
