The Flying Machine will present the world-premiere of its
newest work, Journey to the End of the
Night with previews beginning January 8, prior to an official press
opening of January 10 at the Gene Frankel Theater (24 Bond Street, between Lafayette and the Bowery).
Journey to the End of the Night --
directed by Joshua Carlebach (Drama Desk nominee for his direction of the
company's production of
Frankenstein,
produced by Soho Rep in 2005) -- is adapted from the life and best-known novel
of the 20th-century existentialist author, Louis-Ferdinand Céline, a revered
and controversial writer who suffered enmity and rejection for his political
beliefs during World War II. The Flying Machine production of
Journey to the End of the Night, with
text adapted by Jason Lindner, intersects the story of its author Céline with
that of his antihero Ferdinand Bardamu during the First World War and its
aftermath. His later dubiously motivated actions, however, may have
erased this hard won artistic title and closed the history books on one of this
century's greatest literary gems.
Richard Crawford is the featured performer in this solo-play adaptation of
Journey to the End of the Night.
The design team for
Journey to the End of
the Night is Anna Kiraly (Set Designer), Anjeanette Stokes (Lighting Designer),
Zach Williamson (Sound Designer), and Olivera Gajic (Costume Designer).
Scheduled January 8 – 26 at the Gene Frankel Theater (24 Bond Street, between Lafayette and the Bowery)
Journey to the End of the Night will
perform Tuesdays through Saturdays at 7:30pm; and Sundays at 2:00pm (with no
performance on Tuesday, January 15). Tickets are $20 by calling TheaterMania at 212-352-3101. For additional details, please visit
