Nature Theater of Oklahoma, the company whose most recent Obie Award-winning work, No Dice, enjoyed rave reviews, an extended run and sold-out houses with Soho Rep last season, will conclude Soho Rep's 2008-2009 Off-Broadway season with the U.S. premiere of Rambo Solo fresh from its lauded European tour. Previews begin March 19 prior to an official press opening of March 21 at Soho Rep (46 Walker Street).
Nature Theater of Oklahoma's actor Zachary Oberzan has had a deep connection with the story of "Rambo: First Blood" since he was a boy of ten. He first saw the Hollywood blockbuster during one magical weekend spent watching free HBO. He knows the story by heart - but can he navigate all the perilous twists and turns of his own obsession with it? Set in the dark heart of Zack's tiny New York studio apartment, Rambo Solo follows one man's private passion to its limits, as he struggles to re-enact the entire First Blood story in all its sweaty dramatic detail.Videos
