By: Tyler Peterson Mar. 16, 2015
LWL Investments & Entertainment are pleased to announce a new production of In the Dead of Night by Claudio Macor at the Landor Theatre, 22nd April to 16th May. The play will be directed by Macor, with casting yet to be announced.
tale of eroticism, murder, and power. In a shady South American town at the end of World War II, a gloomy underworld of crime and corruption pulses to a Latin rhythm. Set in a dockside bar, a black and white world of life and death bursts into colour with its coterie of characters - both gay and straight - under the watch of femme fatale, Elvira. Unencumbered by the strict censorship of the original 1940s film noir genre, and with the addition of sensual dance sequences, In the Dead of Night expresses desires and deeds never allowed on screen at that time. "With In the Dead of Night, playwright Claudio Macor (The Tailor-Made Man, Venetian Heat) has set out to show all the gritty reality of the film noir genre freed from the restrictions of the infamous Hollywood Production Code of the 30s and 40s," says producer Andrea Leoncini "In this play, passionate love between both straight and gay couples is shown openly, dialogue is frank, and crime is seen to pay. Adding to the sense of passion and drama, Macor has woven in scenes of sensuous dance which highlight the erotic tensions and formerly forbidden love".
