Manhattan Theatre Club's production of Itamar Moses' BACK BACK BACK began rehearsals on October 2nd, 2008. This New York premiere will begin performances Thursday, October 30 at MTC at New York City Center - Stage II (131 West 55th Street) in preparation for a Tuesday, November 18 opening night.
Directed by
Daniel Aukin (former artistic director of
Soho Rep, director of Everything Will Be Different, [sic]), the production will star
Jeremy Davidson ("Army Wives," Cat on a Hot Tin Roof at The Kennedy Center),
James Martinez (U.S. Drag, "Numb3rs"), and
Michael Mosley (HBO's "Generation Kill," NBC's "Kidnapped").
Does greatness always come with a price? Can only someone with nothing to lose tell the whole truth? From
Itamar Moses, the acclaimed writer of last season's MTC Stage II hit The Four of Us and Bach at Leipzig, comes a stirring new drama about America's favorite pastime. BACK BACK BACK follows the turbulent careers of three very different teammates (Davidson, Martinez, and Mosley) in baseball's steroid era whose clubhouse secrets bring them under federal scrutiny. This timely new play reveals a riveting portrait of pressure, paranoia and payback in professional sports.
The creative team for BACK BACK BACK will include
David Zinn (scenic and costume design),
David Weiner (lighting design), and
Ryan Rumery &
Daniel Baker (sound design).
