Signal Ensemble Theatre presents the remount of the hit jukebox musical "Aftermath," written and directed by co-artistic director Ronan Marra, as the second show of their eighth season. Brian Jones, founder and original leader of The Rolling Stones, was perhaps most famous for his mysterious death at age 27. Jones's lasting impact on rock ‘n roll was masked behind his sexual escapades, high profile relationships and drug induced arrests. Spanning the years 1966-1969, "Aftermath," a drama with the actors playing live music, maps the rise and fall of a troubled genius whose legacy was overshadowed by the very band he created. The show runs about 90 minutes with no intermission. Marra received a Jeff nomination for Best New Work for his last new play "Landslide" (produced by Signal in 2005).
