North Atlantic, pulled from the Wooster repertory, has text by James Strahs and is directed by Elizabeth LeCompte. It features Steve Cuiffo, Ari Fliakos, Koosil-ja, Paul Lazar, Frances McDormand, Zachary Oberzan, Scott Shepherd, Jenny Seastone Stern, Maura Tierney and Kate Valk. North Atlantic is billed as a satiric look at the role of the military and the growing influence of technology in American culture during the late Cold War period, after Vietnam and before the fall of the Berlin Wall. "The work follows an international peacekeeping force on an aircraft carrier in the North Atlantic, tracing the cultural and sexual dynamics that rise to the fore as they carry out their top-secret mission," according to production notes.
Here is a look at the show from its recent Los Angeles run at Redcat:
