credit source BWW News Desk Fifth World Productions announces the world premiere of End's Eve: The Feast of 2012, a new play by Jennifer Gnisci and Hilary Park about a group of young New Yorkers at a dinner party to celebrate the end of the world.
Produced as part of the 11th Annual New York International Fringe Festival and directed by Erik Bryan Slavin, the new show plays at The Village Theatre (158 Bleeker St at Thompson). "It's December 21, 2012. According to ancient Mayan prophecy, this is the day that the world will end and be reborn. Manhattanites Leo and Davis, a gay couple, host a costumed dinner party for their friends to celebrate the coming of the new age," as the show is described in press notes, "Among the guests: Bardo, an uninvited stranger who charms his way into their midst and manipulates the events of the evening. As the booze flows, the cuckoo clock sounds off the hours and the guests are forced to confront what may be their very last midnight. Tensions rise as faiths teeter, beliefs unravel and mystical surprises abound." The cast includes: Devon Berkshire, Nic Few, Patrick Knighton, Ethan Matthews, Chance Mullen, Lauren Orkus, Tony Naumovsky, Tim Smallwood and Marnye Young. Tickets are $15 and are available by calling 212-279-4488 or at www.FringeNYC.org. For more information on the production, please visit www.Feastof2012.com.
