No Man's Land, by Harold Pinter

May 2 through May 25

Three generations of WSC Avant Bard Artistic Directors converge for this Harold Pinter favorite, an acting vehicle of stunning depth and resonance. "No Man’s Land" features a fallen poet and his drunken dispute with a mysterious stranger over success, adventures and romantic conquests. WSC Artistic Director Emeritus Christopher Henley teams up with his predecessor, Brian Hemmingsen, to star in this play of wit, deceit, and the battle between memory and imagination. The production has been staged by new Artistic Director Tom Prewitt. WSC Avant Bard Acting Company Member Frank Britton and local favorite Bruce Rauscher round out the cast.

Thursday-Friday-Saturday at 8pm
Saturdays at 2pm
*No Sunday performances
