Leading independent studio Entertainment One (eOne) is pleased to announce it has teamed up with Steve Lanning and Philip Hobbs to develop and produce two projects for television, Downslope and God Fearing Man from iconic filmmaker Stanley Kubrick.

Tickets are now on sale for The Theatre Project's limited engagement of Barbicide, the new play by Sean Pomposello, which will begin performances Off-Broadway in October.

Barbicide is described as 'a tasty noirish revenge play of interwoven monologues, underscoring the consequences of coincidence and fate. Imagine if Jack Kerouac, Jim Thompson & Mario Puzo were to pen a mind-blowing riff of Sweeney Todd, seen through the eyes of a dysfunctional barbershop-quartet.'
