The Little Flower Of East Orange at the Public Theater's Martinson Hall

LAByrinth Theater Company and The Public Theater presents The Little Flower Of East Orange, by Stephen Adly Guirgis, directed by Philip Seymour Hoffman, opening at the Public Theater's Martinson Hall on 6 Apr 2008, following previews from 18 Mar and running through to 20 Apr 2008.

The Little Flower Of East Orange: An inter-generational ghost story set in an upper Manhattan charity hospital.

The Little Flower Of East Orange reunites the writer/director team behind such urban dramas as 'The Last Days of Judas Iscariot' and 'Jesus Hopped the �A� Train.'

�The ongoing collaboration between Stephen and Phil is emblematic of the artistic risk that is LAByrinth�s life-blood. These guys were both actors who developed a new skill with this company: Stephen as a writer and Phil as a director. And they developed these skills in the service of new, ferocious and distinctly New York work,� said John Gould Rubin, LAByrinth�s Co-Artistic Director and Executive Director. �There�s no doubt that The Little Flower of East Orange will be a fierce, pulsating play which is bound to tear your heart out.�

The cast of The Little Flower Of East Orange features Ellen Burstyn, Elizabeth Canavan, Liza Col�n-Zayas, Arthur French, Gillian Jacobs, Ajay Naidu, Michael Shannon, Sidney Williams and David Zayas.

The creative team comprises Narelle Sissons (sets), Mimi O�Donnell (costumes), Japhy Weideman (lighting) and David Van Tieghem (sound).
