The play is written by Steven Haworth and directed by Jamie Richards. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

A desperate art scholar and a passionate museum curator navigate a bizarre and bloody, sexually-charged love triangle with a terrifyingly brilliant dead artist. Or is he? A dark romantic farce. A psychosexual thriller. Set in Madrid and the international art world.

Steven Haworth's plays have seen productions and been in festivals Off-Broadway and across the country including Abingdon Theatre, Zoo District, Open Fist, Project III, Ashland New Play Festival, First Look Festival, Long Beach Playhouse New Works Festival, the NEWvember New Plays Festival and Stage Left Theatre's Leapfest. Steven is the former Associate Artistic Director of the Project III Ensemble.

Jamie Richards served as Executive Producer of Ensemble Studio Theatre, where she produced premiers by Arthur Miller, David Mamet, David Ives and many others. She has developed and directed plays for EST, Williamstown Theater Festival, New York Stage and Film, Playwright's Horizons and Primary Stages.

New Ohio Theatre strengthens, nurtures and promotes a community of independent theatre artists and theatre companies by curating and presenting new work in New York City. With its Ice Factory summer festival the New Ohio offers emerging and established companies a prime forum in which to develop their work.
