Actor Injury Cancels Culture Project's Big Shoot

­ Due to the injury one of the actors in this two-character play, RPN Globe LLC and the The Culture Project (45 Bleecker Street) have cancelled the first U.S. production of the Ivory Coast/French play Big Shoot by Koffi Kwahulé with English translation by Chantal Bilodeau.

Under the direction of Gabriella Maione (Quartett at Brooklyn Academy of Music) with Music by Michael Galasso, the play was to have featured Tom Brangle and Thomas Francis Murphy.

"Written in 1999 after Kwahulé's return from a visit to Rwanda, Big Shoot is a politically energizing play dealing with themes of torture, terrorism and power. It is a confrontation between two men -- an interrogator and his suspect -- and the complex relationship they build. The play comes to life as the interplay between the two men takes place. It is a game of power, humiliation and the meaningful issues aroused about our contemporary world," state press notes.
 
The producers are planning a staged reading on the set within the next few weeks. A date will be announced shortly.
