New York Premiere of Tom Dugan's Wiesenthal
Daryl Roth and Karyl Lynn Burns will present the New York premiere of Wiesenthal, written by and starring Tom Dugan, directed by Jenny Sullivan, opening at Theatre Row's Acorn Theater on 05 Nov 2014, following previews from 24 Oct, and closing on 1 Feb 2015.
Synopsis: 'Wiesenthal is the true story of Simon Wiesenthal. Sometimes referred to as 'the Jewish James Bond', Wiesenthal escaped death at the hands of Hitler's S.S., lost 89 family members, and devoted more than six decades to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. Part memoir and part spy thriller, Dugan's play introduces us to Wiesenthal on the day before his retirement as he welcomes his final group of Americans to his office in The Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna.'
Tom Dugan's portrayal of Simon Wiesenthal received the Los Angeles Drama Critics' Circle Award and three Ovation nominations. His film and television credits include "Friends", "Bones", "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Kindergarten Cop", "Dave, "The Naked Gun" and "Leprechaun III". Dugan has also written plays such as 'Oscar to Oscar', 'Robert E. Lee - Shades of Gray', 'The Ghosts of Mary Lincoln' and 'Frederick Douglass - In the Shadow of Slavery'.
