'Lunch at Armageddon' at the Blue Heron Arts Center
Sage Theatre Company present Lunch at Armageddon, by Richard Lay, at the Blue Heron Arts Center from the 15 Sep - 2 Oct 2005.
At a cafe overlooking the Plains of Armageddon in Northern Israel, Brad, an American training to be a priest, meets Leila - a Palestinian studying Islamic history. Despite their differences, they're quickly drawn to each other. Also at the cafe is Poppy, a former actress and widow of a studio head who's there to fulfill her late husband's dream of filming the story of Armageddon ("the epic to end all epics"). However one of them carries a dangerous secret-with potentially devastating ramifications. A social satire of politics and Hollywood deal-making, and where love is the most potent weapon of all.
Lunch at Armageddon cast, directed by Simcha Borenstein, features: J. Garrett Glaser, Erin Kate Howard, Steve Kasprzak, Arlene Love and Pierre O'Farrell.
Lunch at Armageddon is produced by Lizzie Brown
