Battle of Black and Dogs at Yale Rep - May 8, 2010
Join La Comédie Française New York for dinner and discussion in New Haven, followed by the performance of Bernard-Marie Koltès Battle of Black and Dogs. Set in remote corner of Africa, Battle of Black and Dogs is a politically, sexually, and culturally charted tale of psychological warfare that erupts at an isolated construction compound. When a hired man mysteriously dies, his brother arrives at the compound to collect the body - and the site manager, his fiancé and an engineer all become embroiled in the cover up of the worker's death. The haunting thriller by acclaimed French writer Bernard-Marie Koltès is directed by visionary theatre artist Robert Woodruff, whose 2009 production of Notes from Underground was hailed as "a brilliantly original work of art" (The Boston Globe).
