George O. Brome's ANOTHER MAN'S POISON opens 8/12 (NYC)


WRITTEN BY GEORGE O. BROME

DIRECTED BY PASSION HANSOME

PRODUCED BY SHEILA SPELLER
ORIELLE CREATIVE COMPANY

When struggling comedian, Frankie Masters, finally gets his shot at his own network television show in 1970, his imminent success exposes the hidden conflict and mounting turmoil of his personal life. It's a pivotal time in our history, where the Vietnam War, exposing the racial divide, and the politicizing of sexual identity, all conspire to add depth and texture to the drama. A potent six character play -- 3 Black, 3 White, is a quintessential Hollywood story with a distinct New York bite. ...ANOTHER MAN'S POISON feeds our incessant desire to peer into the "making of a celebrity".

It is the story of family, reaching for goals, and the choices that are made along the way.

With:
LELAND GANTT, STEVE GREENSTEIN, DENNIS HEARN,
PENELOPE LOWDER, JAMES EDWARD SHIPPY, TONI L. STANTON

  1. Excellent Show. It was well acted and well writen. It had a Black perspective that does not typically have representation. Wish it had a longer run.
