Neva: Public announces complete cast

The Public Theatre have announced the full cast for their Public Lab English Language premiere production of Neva, written and directed by Guillermo Calderon, and translated by Andrea Thome, opening at the Anspacher Theater on 11 Mar 2013, following previews from 01 Mar 2013, and closing on 31 Mar 2013.

The cast features Bianca Amato, Luke Robertson and Quincy Tyler-Bernstine.

Neva: Tells the story of Anton Chekhov's widow, the actress Olga Knipper, who arrives in a dimly lit rehearsal room in St. Petersburg in the winter of 1905. As Olga and two other actors await the rest of the cast, they huddle together, act out scenes from their lives and muse on their art form and love - while, unseen, striking workers are being gunned down in the streets by Tsarist regime.

The Public Lab season will also include 'Detroit' 67,' 'Old Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance),' the new musical 'Venice' and David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's 'Here Lies Love.'

Now in its sixth season, Public Lab at The Public provides audiences with access to new work and Shakespeare with low priced tickets and provides emerging and established artists with a platform to further develop their work on stage and in performances with scaled-down productions (shorter rehearsal periods and smaller budgets.)
