Castillo Theatre Presents THE TASK 1/22
The Task by Heiner Müller, translated by Carl Weber, with music & lyrics by Fred Newman, directed by Gabrielle L. Kurlander. Opens January 22, 2010
The promise of revolution comes to Jamaica in 1799, as the timeless themes of love, loss and betrayal collide in a challenging play by acclaimed German avant-gardist Heiner Müller.
Castillo continues expanding the boundaries of political theatre as popular director Gabrielle L. Kurlander mounts the first-ever American production of Müller's The Task performed by an all-Black cast. With Fred Newman's avant-garde songs, Billy Taylor's gospel, R&B classics and rap, this is New York City experimental theatre at its best.
Performances January 22 - February 21, 2010, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m.; Sundays at 2:00 p.m. at the CASTILLO THEATRE 543 West 42nd Street (bet. 10th & 11th Avenues)
