New Rep Continues Season With Rolling World Premiere Of The IceBreaker...



New Repertory Theatre continues its season of premieres at the Arsenal Center for the Arts with the 's8220;rolling world premiere's8221; of The Ice-Breaker, David Rambo's8217;s play about romance and global warming, Oct. 25 through Nov. 19. Directed by David Zoffoli. Featuring Will Lyman and Amy Russ. Call 617- 923-8487 for tickets and information.



The Ice-Breaker is the story of a brilliant young PhD student completing her thesis, who seeks out the exiled genius whose work first inspired her study of climatology. She finds him in the Arizona desert, far from the glaciers he studied. Discourse - romantic and scientific - ensues, leading them to discover that their romantic attraction is as volatile and mysterious as the potential climate change they fear. The play deftly examines a human relationship against the backdrop of 's8216;an inconvenient truth.'s8221;



The Ice-Breaker is part of the National New Play Network (NNPN), produced in conjunction with productions at San Francisco's8217;s Magic Theatre and Tucson's8217;s Borderlands Theatre, making it a 's8220;rolling world premiere.'s8221; New Rep represents Boston in NNPN, which champions the development, production and continued life of new plays in American theater.



Said New Rep Producing Artistic Director, 's8220;We are proud of our affiliation with NNPN. It fits perfectly with our mission to bring extraordinary writing and innovative works to the discerning Boston audience. The Ice-Breaker is a layered work that reveals much about the fragility of ourselves and our world, made all the more urgent by the almost daily news about our planet's8217;s climate crisis.'s8221;



Playwright David Rambo wrote God's8217;s Man in Texas, The Ice-Breaker, The Lady With All the Answers (a one-woman show about Ann Landers), The Spin Cycle, an adaptation of Sinclair Lewis's8217; Babbitt, and a new book for the classic Paint Your Wagon.

His adaptation of Sunset Boulevard was performed at the Hollywood Bowl, with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra playing Franz Waxman's8217;s original score. He is a writer and co-producer of the hit television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.



Director David Zoffoli has been Associate Artistic Director of the Merrimack Repertory Theatre and Associate Producer at the North Shore Music Theatre. As director, he won an Elliott Norton Award for Best Regional Theatre production and has worked on over 100 productions locally and abroad.
