Photo Flash: First Look at VOICES OF SWORDS Off-Broadway

Right Down Broadway Productions, Ltd. presents VOICES OF SWORDS by Kari Floren. Directed by Eve Brandstein, the show opens August 20 and runs through September 7, 2014 at Walkerspace. A combative family, facing autumn years, must exchange boxing gloves for kid gloves. Is 40 too soon to grow up? How about 45? Loni Ackerman heads a cast of six. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

With this brand new dramatic comedy, two families are found dealing with aging parents in very different ways. Alexis--a personal organizer whose own life is desperately in need of some outside help--is hired to assist Olivia Parks, a sweet old woman who's soon scheduled for a heart operation. But Olivia isn't quite the sweet old woman she was initially touted as, and the frenzied fury she feels towards her son for not coming home to take care of her puts Alexis in the midst of an intense familial conflict. While she's meant to be sorting out the problems of others, Alexis' own long-hidden truths begin to bubble to the surface, leading to an explosive revelation.
