Rare Revival of Rattigan's 'Ross' Begins Off-Bway, 10/27

The Storm Theatre will present Ross, a play by Terence Rattigan, for a limited engagement beginning today, October 27th, through November 18th. The official opening for the Stephen Logan Day directed production is November 1st.

"After Lawrence of Arabia's quest to reshape the Middle East, he assumed the new role of recruit in the Royal Air Force with the name Ross. Why? The play Ross tackles that question, and paints a dramatic portrait of one of the 20th century's most fascinating and enigmatic characters.
"
Ross was last seen in New York when it premiered on Broadway in 1961 at the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, one year before the epic film Lawrence of Arabia was released.

Terence Rattigan's other plays include The Winslow Boy, The Browning Version, The Deep Blue Sea, and Separate Tables.

The cast features Emanuele Ancorini, Liam Benzvi, Joe Danbusky, Peter Dobbins, Jeff Keogh, Chris Keveney, Gabe Levey, Ted McGuinness, Jamil Mena, Edward Prostak , Anthony Russo, Tim Smallwood, George Taylor, Josh Vasquez, Gabriel Vaughan, and Matthew Waterson.

The Storm Theatre's 2006-2007 season will also feature a world premiere of John Regis' Linnea, directed by Peter Dobbins (January 2007).  In the spring, Storm will celebrate the work of Karol Wojityla (Pope John Paul II) with a festival of his plays.

The Storm Theatre is located at 145 West 46th Street. The show plays Wednesday through Saturday at 7:30 PM with matinees on Saturday at 2PM. Additional performances October 29th at 2 PM and October 30th at 7:30 PM.
