a play by Anita Loos
from the novella by Colette
January 9th - February 14th, 2015
Set in Paris at the turn of the 20th century, legendary storyteller Anita Loos dramatizes Collette's timeless tale of love and marriage...and commerce.
Seven years before MGM presented the classic movie musical version of the same story, this comedic romance of a rich but weary bon vivant and an innocent would-be courtesan launched the career of Audrey Hepburn.

The Believers
by Robert Carroll
September 26 - November 1, 2014
What do you believe? What would you do for that belief?
On the eve of the New York City Democratic Primary, Chris Connor, a brilliant young campaign manager, is getting slammed by dirty tricks from the opposition and faces such questions. Does he retaliate? Two years have been spent in preparation for this election. How far is he willing to go?

The Believers is based on the inner workings of political campaigns in New York City.

"Working in the tradition of Gore Vidal's 1960 classic The Best Man...(The Believers) uniquely captures the adrenaline-rush felt inside campaign HQ as the day of reckoning approaches. And the Storm Theatre serves up a strong, fast-paced production, one that anyone interested in politics will likely appreciate."
- The Gotham Gazette
"The fast pace of the dialogue, the superb acting... and decisions made in half a heartbeat all combine to show the pressure of a campaign's final hours and draw in the audience..."

Our God's Brother
by Karol Wojtyła
translated by Bolesław Taborski
The Storm Theatre and Blackfriars Repertory Theatre present
April 4 - May 3, 2014
An aristocrat turned revolutionary escapes from the Czarist authorities and finds his calling as a critically acclaimed painter. But he cannot ignore what everyone around him fails to see. He yearns to reach a higher calling only to be soundly rejected. Rebellion is brewing, but his far greater challenge is the struggle within himself.
Karol Wojtyła was a young seminarian in Poland who, at 21, during WWII, became a co-founder of the underground Rhapsodic Theatre. His play, The Jeweler's Shop was made into a film with Burt Lancaster in 1989. In 1978, Wojtyła was elected Pope John Paul II and is due to be canonized this April 27th.

Antigone
by Jean Anouilh
adapted by Louis Galantière
The Storm Theatre and Blackfriars Repertory Theatre present:
Jan. 10 - Feb. 15, 2014
A religious rite denied for the "good of the State" prompts a spirited young woman to an act of defiance. This act and its consequences are the core of Jean Anouilh's brilliant modern retelling of Sophocles' Ancient Greek tragedy ANTIGONE. This classic, translated by Louis Galantière , explores the conflicts between the individual vs. the state, idealism vs. pragmatism, but ultimately its greatness lies in its exploration of the human soul and its greatest desires. Now, as then, we live in a world ruled by "pragmatic" decisions that oppose the yearnings of the human heart, as such, The Storm Theatre and Blackfriars Repertory Theatre believes this is a perfect time to revive this timeless masterpiece.

"Thoughtful... snaps instantly into focus. Kennedy brings a muscularity that belies her physical delicacy."
"This production is a real opportunity!' 'Kick Kennedy has true stage presence... everybody's eyes are on her... she nails the nominal role."
- Theatre Scene
"Timeless... solid... Kennedy is... defiant yet painfully vulnerable and frail."
"The Storm Theatre offers a well-acted and well-directed production that is highly polished and enjoyable, which makes this Play quite the thing indeed.' 'Engaging and entertaining... great comic chemistry!"
"The cast has a fine feel for farce..."
- The New Yorker
"Beguiling production"
The Play's The Thing
by Ferenc Molnar
adapted by P.G. Wodehouse
September 20th - October 26th, 2013
In a castle on the Italian Riviera, illicit romantic protestations are heard through its walls leaving a sensitive young composer facing devastation and heartbreak, and the celebrated writing team of Mansky and Turai facing humiliation and financial ruin. Only Sandor Turai remains calm and cool in finding a solution when he realizes "the play's the thing..."
NY TIMES critic Vincent Canby once stated "...when it's performed by the right company, it can be as much dreamy fun as a fireworks show: a gorgeous if ephemeral display of the way in which civilized behavior can briefly triumph over life's usual chaos"
The Storm Theatre pledges to be that "right" company and is very proud to present this 1926 comedy classic as part of our celebration of Ferenc Molnár's great legacy to world theatre.

Marius
by Marcel Pagnol
translated by Zack Rogow
September 7th - October 13th, 2012
The Storm Theatre is proud to present the New York Premiere of MARIUS by Marcel Pagnol, translated from the French and adapted by Zack Rogow!
Eighteen year old Fanny, the most beautiful girl in Marseille, loves the handsome twenty-two year-old Marius who daydreams away while working at his father's Bar de la Marine. He secretly returns Fanny's ardour, but resists her advances, yearning to go Elsewhere, to a life at sea full of adventure. However, fifty year-old Panisse, a recent widower and wealthy sailmaker, has proposed to the young Fanny. She wants Marius, but if Marius does not want her, she will give up romance and marry for security. With Panisse she'd have a maid and 100,000 francs! The ball is in Marius's court...
What ensues is one of the great romances of the past century bursting with passion, warmth, humor, all the yearning and passion of youth and the wisdom of age.
Marcel Pagnol was one of the leading French dramatists of the last 100 years. Of the many plays he wrote, MARIUS is considered his masterpiece. The play is the cornerstone of Pagnol's Marseille trilogy. MARIUS has been adapted as a movie several times, most recently by the great French actor Daniel Auteuil, in a soon-to-be-released remake.

"None of this would work were it not for the splendid believability of Danbusky, Pesce, and Waterson amidst a ridiculously silly situation."
- Named a BackStage Critic's Pick
"Excellent" "An exciting new work...first rate theater."
"Under the astute direction of Peter Dobbins, the well-spoken production has a pleasing bare-boards simplicity that captures the period."
The London Merchant
or the History of George Barnwell
by George Lillo
January 6th - January 28th, 2012
First performed in 1731, George Lillo's THE LONDON MERCHANT tells the story of a young apprentice led astray by a courtesan.
It marked an exceptional departure for Lillo and created a new genre of theatre which concentrated on the struggles of the working classes. Prior to this, the theatre of the period had predominantly focused on stories relating to the upper classes, biblical or classical themes.
The new ‘bourgeois drama’ became popular across Europe, and gave Lillo a notable place in dramatic history.

NOON DIVIDE
by Paul Claudel
October 29th - November 20th, 2010
On a ship bound for Hong Kong, a lonely civil servant meets a beautiful vivacious married woman. Seduction and an ensuing torrid affair lead to surprising consequences.
What at first seems a classic example of "Amor Fou" ( a French term literally translated as "crazy love"), unfolds in a very unexpected way. NOON DIVIDE was a play Claudel felt he had "written in his own blood". Using his own adulterous affair with Rosalie Vetch as his inspiration, Claudel explores human sexual passion, and its role within the architecture of Salvation.
This apparent tragedy of doomed love eventually reveals itself as a Divine comedy, much along the lines of his vast epic THE SATIN SLIPPER (which was also inspired by the same events in Claudel's life).
Produced by the Storm Theatre, in association with
Blackfriars Repertory Theatre.

"The Storm Theatre once again brings a lesser-known dramatic treasure to vivid, theatrical life"
- NYTheatre.com
"Utterly engrossing yet surprisingly fun, Arrahconfirms Storm's status as a company swiftly on the rise."
- New York Times
"The Storm Theatre, who have revived this lost gem, are to be thanked for finding it; more, they are to be congratulated, for they have given Boucicault's beautiful play a lovely, heartfelt production, one that reminds us that romance can never really go out of style."
- NYTheatre.com
"...this highly entertaining play features bawdy comedy, overheated romance and chest-pounding melodrama. There's never an undramatic moment, and when the action seems to be winding down, director Peter Dobbins throws in a high-stepping Irish dance that would wow Michael Flatley."
