A rare production of NIGHT JUST BEFORE THE FOREST
Lazaros Theodorakopoulos produces and stars in the tour-de-force solo play,
NIGHT JUST BEFORE THE FOREST
by the acclaimed French playwright
Bernard-Marie Koltès, translated by Timothy Johns.
The production is directed by Bill Bowers.
(80 minutes / Warning: some profanity)
Originally from Greece, Theodorakopoulos has been an actor in NYC and
Greece for twelve years and began collaborating on this production with
Bowers in 2021. Both studied acting at the legendary William Esper Studio.
PRODUCER’S NOTE: “an unstoppable monologue that must be uttered.
Not sure where it came from. As definite and unknown as love, life and
death is. Will you find the words to say what you want to say? Will you
manage to love, live, or die? Will you manage to finish this monologue?"
NIGHT JUST BEFORE THE FOREST (written in 1977) was Koltès’ first
widely acclaimed play. He is considered to be heir to Samuel Beckett, Jean
Cocteau and Jean Genet. His plays have been translated into more than 36
languages. Koltès died of complications from AIDS in 1989.
