 20070406 In a Dark Dark House
Neil LaBute's newest play In a Dark Dark House starring Ron Livingston premieres May 16th at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. The synopsis:On the grounds of a private psychiatric facility, two family members find themselves brought face to face with each other's involvement in their traumatic past. In court-ordered rehab, Drew calls on his brother, Terry, to corroborate his story of abuse. Drew's request releases barely-hidden animosities between the two; is he using these repressed memories to save himself while smearing the name of his brother's friend and mentor? In Neil LaBute's powerful new play, these siblings must struggle to come to grips with their troubled legacy, both inside and outside their dark family home.LaBute taught film and drama at IPFW (Indiana-Purdue University at Fort Wayne) during the 90's, and I've been following him since he filmed his Cannes-winning movie In The Company of Men, starring Aaron Eckhart, in Fort Wayne in 1997. 2

Reciprocal said... All American males ages 15 and up should watch "In The Company of Men". It makes you feel revolted by certain aspects of masculinity. Which is not to say that a masculine nature is all good or bad but to occasionally think critically about certain tendencies inherent to those of us with testes. It's important if you want to become a better man. 11:35 AM Joel said... But did you see his version of The Wicker Man? :D 9:16 AM Post a Comment |

 Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old. I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook. I live in Brooklyn now.
