Los Angeles, CA – Fierce passions flood through Phyllis Nagy’s award-winning play, a visionary love story set in a remote, rain-swept village in the South of France. NEVER LAND’S exploration of love, loss, cultural dispossession and the abiding power of the human imagination moves from scabrous wit to heart-breaking tenderness as it charts the course of three fateful days in the lives of a singular French family that yearns to be English.
Never Land was first produced at London’s Royal Court Theatre, where Phyllis Nagy was writer-in-residence during Stephen Daldry’s tenure as artistic director. The play has been translated into more than 20 languages, and has been produced throughout Europe—most recently in Finland. Rogue Machine presents the play’s American premiere.
Phyllis Nagy (Writer/Director) has dual citizenship in the US and the UK. She lived in London for 15 years prior to returning to the US, several years ago, to direct her first feature film, MRS. HARRIS, which starred Annette Bening and Ben Kingsley. The film, which premiered as a gala presentation at the Toronto Film Festival, aired on HBO, and was nominated for multiple Emmy and Golden Globe awards, including nods for Nagy as writer and director. She won a PEN USA award for her script, and Prism, WIN, and Gracie Allen awards for her direction.
NEVER LAND opens on Thursday, October 8, 2009 (previews October, 1-4) and runs Thursdays-Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm thru November 15, 2009. ROGUE MACHINE in Theatre Theater is located at 5041 Pico Blvd., LA, CA 90019. Tickets are $25 and may be purchased by calling (323) 960-7774 or at www.roguemachinetheatre.com
