The Boomerang Theatre Company presents Days of Wine and Roses, directed by Rachel Wood, Oct. 3-19 at Walker Space, 46 Walker Street, in Manhattan.
"A man and woman meet at a bar and it's love at first sip," according to press notes. "Days of Wine and Roses is a love story that examines a torrid relationship that was solidified and ultimately destroyed by alcohol."
Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick starred in the 1963 film. The property was originally produced on television in 1958 on "Playhouse 90" starring Cliff Robertson, Piper Laurie and Charles Bickford.
