Chad Kimball, Nikki M. James Lead BACK TO METHUSELAH: PART TWO 2/27

Gingold Theatrical Group's PROJECT SHAW will present BACK TO METHUSELAH:PART TWO – a comedy of epic proportions by George Bernard Shaw – on Monday, February 27 at 7pm at The Players Club (16 Gramercy Park South) in Manhattan. David Staller produces and directs.

Now in its seventh sold-out year, Gingold Theatrical Group's PROJECT SHAW made history in December 2009 as the first company ever to present every play (including full-length works, one-acts and sketches) written by George Bernard Shaw.

About the show: "BACK TO METHUSELAH is Shaw's 1921 outrageous comedy that tells the story of all Humanity...that hasn't happened, yet. Where Part One (seen last month) began in the Garden of Eden, in Part Two Shaw goes Sci-Fi and jumps ahead from the year 3000 to the 32nd Century where he imagines cell-phones, Skype, and an entirely new method of procreation and birth. People live to be hundreds of years old (hence the title) and the power of thought is key. Do you have to see both parts to get it? No! The two parts exist independently of each other."

The cast features Will Bradley, Blake Daniel (SPRING AWAKENING), Daniel Davis (THE CHERRY ORCHARD, "The Nanny"), Christian Delcroix (FOLLIES), David Drake (THE NIGHT Larry Kramer KISSED ME, MY TAWNY VALENTINE), Lora Lee Gayer (FOLLIES), Rebecca Hoffman, Nikki M. James
(THE BOOK OF MORMON), Chad Kimball (MEMPHIS), Roberta Maxwell (OUR TOWN, EQUUS), Irish Repertory Theatre's Charlotte Moore, and Fritz Weaver.

Also in the cast is Michael Riedel of the New York Post, playing a Napoleonic character that meets an untimely end. The evening's guest host is Patrick Pacheco of NY1 and The Los Angeles Times.

David Staller produces and directs all of the PROJECT SHAW readings.
