The 2008-2009 season will also include the inaugural "Off Again" musical series, featuring concert versions of notable Off-Broadway musicals. Shows under consideration for the new series include Maria Irene Fornes and Al Carmines' 1969 work Promenade, Peter Link's Iphigenia in Concert (which would be directed by Passing Strange's Annie Dorsen) and Lisa Peterson and David Bucknam's The Waves. (Exact titles and dates are still to be determined.)
The NYTW 2008-2009 season (subject to change) follows:
Jo Bonney (The Seven, Fat Pig) directs the new comedy by Michael Weller (Moonchildren, Loose Ends), which is billed as a "blood-red road adventure [in which] two Iraqi War veterans—badly mutilated but as fiercely patriotic as ever — make their way home from a military hospital in Germany. Their marauding adventure across America takes them to Crawford, Texas, where they meet up with their Commander-in-Chief and offer a surefire solution to all his problems."
Director Peter Brook (Marat/Sade) brings Marie-Hélène Estienne's adaptation of the Inquisitor section of Dostoyevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov" to New York. The Centre for International Theatre Creations/Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord staging will be a co-presentation with Theatre for a New Audience. Actor Bruce Myers (The Mahabharata) stars.
