ROberto Zucco

by Bernard-Marie Koltès, directed by Joey Rizzolo

Roberto Zucco was the last play by French writer Bernard-Marie Koltès, "a pioneer of a wholly new style of dramatic writing" (The Times). Wildly popular in Europe and Asia, this play is less produced in the United States despite the fact that its heart is deeply embedded in American squalor. This ensemble-driven story of class and identity is poetic and fast-moving, immersing both its characters and the audience in a landscape of strange and violent beauty.
