Photo Coverage: Michael Weller's 'Beast' Opening Night Party

New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) Artistic Director James C. Nicola and Managing Director William Russo presented the opening night of Michael Weller's play ‘Beast' on Monday, September 15^th, 2008. ‘Beast' is directed by Jo Bonney.

Press notes describe ‘Beast' as "a blood-red comic road adventure, two Iraq War veterans-badly mutilated but as fiercely patriotic as ever-make their way home from a military hospital in Germany.  Their marauding adventure across America takes them to Crawford, Texas, where they meet up with their Commander-in-Chief and offer a surefire solution to all his problems."

The cast of Beast is Raul Aranas, Jeremy Bobb, Dan Butler, Lisa Joyce, Logan Marshall-Green, Eileen Rivera, and Corey Stoll.
