“ENEMIES” WORLD PREMIERE INTRODUCES
THEATER NOIR TO EASTERN CAROLINA
GREENVILLE, N.C. — Magnolia Arts Center teamed up December 12, 2007 with East Carolina University professor and playwright Joseph Horst to begin production of the world premiere of his play “Enemies.”
The story plot, said by production staff to be gritty in nature, is being kept under wraps by all involved, even taking the unusual step of having cast and crew sign non-disclosure agreements agreeing not to reveal the plot, story line and ending.
“There are some twists to this play that really warrant keeping this script under wraps,” said Jane Sharp, producer.
Director Jerad W. Alexander went on to say, “All I can really say about the story at this point is that this is theater’s equivalent of Film Noir. Just watch [www.enemiestheplay.com] for information as it’s available.”
A portion of the production’s proceeds will benefit a local charitable foundation.
“Enemies” is scheduled to open mid-February next year and be performed in Room 244 of ECU’s Mendenhall Student Center. Tickets will be sold through ECU’s Central Ticket Office.
