Photo Coverage: Atlantic Theater Company Opens GABRIEL

By:

Atlantic Theater Company (Neil Pepe, Artistic Director; Jeffory Lawson, Managing Director) opened the American premiere of Olivier Award nominee Moira Buffini's award-winning play, GABRIEL, this week on May 13, which marks the final main stage production of Atlantic's 2009-2010 season. BroadwayWorld was on hand to celebrate.

Directed by David Esbjornson (The Ride Down Mt. Morgan), GABRIEL features Patricia Conolly (Broadway's The Coast of Utopia), Lisa Emery (Off-Broadway's Distracted), Tony Award® nominee Zach Grenier (Broadway's 33 Variations), Lee Aaron Rosen (Summer Play Festival's Wet), Samantha Soule (Broadway's The Philanthropist) and Libby Woodbridge (Off Broadway debut).

GABRIEL began previews Friday, April 23 and will play a limited engagement through Sunday, June 6, 2010 Off-Broadway at The Linda Gross Theater.

GABRIEL is set around a largely forgotten moment in British history - the German occupation of the Channel Islands during World War II. A naked young man washes up on a Guernsey beach. Unnervingly handsome and fluent in both German and English, he has no recollection of who he is - patriot or Nazi...innocent or madman. GABRIEL explores the heart of memory, identity and imagination, as well as the lies people tell themselves and each other to make the darkness light again.

GABRIEL will play Tuesday through Friday at 8p, Wednesday at 2p, Saturday at 2p and 8p and Sundays at 3p.

Atlantic Theater Company AT THE LINDA GROSS THEATER is located at 336 West 20th Street (between 8th and 9th Avenues). Tickets are $65.00 and available by calling Ticket Central at 212-279-4200 (ticketcentral.com). For general inquiries and group sales call 212-645-1242 or visit www.atlantictheater.org.
