King of Shadows at Theater for the New City

The Working Theater present the world premiere of Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa's King of Shadows, opening at Theater for the New City's Johnson Theatre on 7 Sep 2008, following previews from 2 Sep and running through to 28 Sep 2008.

King of Shadows centers around Nihar, a 15-year-old homeless runaway selling sex to survive, who claims he's being pursued by supernatural demons. When Jessica, a young social worker, takes him in, he forms a dangerous bond with her teenage sister that threatens everything she values. The famous fog of San Francisco mixes with a fog of fantasy and fear as each try to protect against a danger they don't understand.

Directed by Connie Grappo, King of Shadows features Satya Bhabha, Kat Foster, Sarah Lord and Richard Short.

Satya Bhabha recently starred as 'Jai Dutt' in the New Group's production of 'Rafta Rafta' at Theatre Row's Acorn Theater.

Sarah Lord played 'Frances' in the Cherry Lane Theatre's production of 'Bhutan' (2006).

Richard Short played 'Harry' in the Vineyard Theatre's production of 'Mary Rose' (2007).

The creative team includes Wilson Chin (sets), Emily Pepper (costumes), Jack Mehler (lighting) and M.L. Dogg (sound).
