Sailor Man at Lafayette Street Theater

The Present Company present Sailor Man, by Scott Peterman and Ryan Iverson, at the Lafayette Street Theater from 9 - 22 Aug 2008, as part of the New York International Fringe Festival.

Sailor Man: Two rivals�a pumped-up Navy man and a heavyset, bearded thug�repeatedly beat each other nearly to death over the affection of a fickle, skinny woman named Olive. However, when performed realistically, fists fly, blood flows, and this straightforward storyline transforms into a provocative look at how our society values violence. The end product is brutal and harsh, full of bottled-up anger and regret, and much closer in tone to Sam Shepard than the traditional Saturday morning fare.

Directed by Peter Cook, Sailor Man features Ryan Iverson, Scott Peterman and Lauren Blumenfeld.
