The survivors, not knowing what they are even fighting for, vow to destroy each other and wrest control of what remains. Last Life is the new fightsical from Timothy Haskell (creator of Road House: The Stage Play) and Eric Sanders (The Wendigo), and stars Taimak (of the legendary fight film The Last Dragon).

Starring: Taimak Guarriello (also the star of Haskell's Road House), Aaron Haskell (star of all of Timothy's plays), Soomi Kim (creator and star of award-winning Lee/gendary at HERE Arts Center), Jo-Anne Lee (star of Haskell's The Jaded Assassin), Margaret Macdonald and Alyxx Wilson.

Fight Director Rod Kinter is the resident fight director of the New York City Opera, Pearl Theatre (most recent production The Playboy of the Western World), and the Utah Shakespeare Festival. He was also the fight choreographer for Haskell's Fatal Attraction and The Jaded Assassin.

Timothy Haskell (Director) recently directed the Off-Broadway hits Stitching (The Wild Project), The Jaded Assassin (Ohio Theatre), Fatal Attraction: A Greek Tragedy starring Corey Feldman at the Classic Stage Company and the Paris Hilton spoof I Love Paris by Doug Fields at the Blue Heron Arts Center. At 13 months, I Love Paris was one of the longest-running solo shows in Off-Broadway history. He is perhaps best known for creating and directing the cult hit Road House: The Stage Play, which transferred from Off-Off Broadway to Off-Broadway at the Barrow Street Theatre. Mr. Haskell is also the creator and director of the annual Nightmare: New York's Most Horrifying Haunted House. The most recent installation was Nightmare: Vampires in NOHO. His most recent endeavor, Stitching, went on to also perform in Los Angeles for 3 months. This is Big Time Action Theatre's second show. The first was the martial arts fantasy The Jaded Assassin.

Eric Sanders (Playwright) is the author of the supernatural horror play The Wendigo in February 2009 at the Medicine Show Theatre, Heartless (dir. Pat Diamond), Ixomia (dir. Stephen Brackett) at the Crown Point Festival, It's a Dry Heat, The Hillside, Oceanside Parkway at the American Place Theatre, and Faint at the NY Fringe Festival. He is the creator and producer of fuckplays, the hit series of sex-themed plays at the Galapagos Art Space and Ohio Theatre featuring a new play by Kyle Jarrow, and Dread Awakening, the acclaimed anthology of horror plays at the 45th Street Theatre featuring Robert Funaro of The Sopranos alongside a new work by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. He was also the associate producer of Clay McLeod Chapman's and Kyle Jarrow's hit indie-rock musical Hostage Song.

"The longtime theatrical showman has developed a reputation as the William Castle of the Off Off Broadway scene." - Jason Zinoman, NY Times

"Off-Broadway's own Quentin Tarantino. For his unique abilities to turn actors into real-life superheroes and to reduce even the grown men in the audience to fits of giddy, schoolgirl giggling, Haskell should either receive a medal or turn himself over for observation" - Matthew Murray, Talkinbroadway.com
