NEW YORK - Off-Broadway revisits the Vietnam War with a Roundabout Theatre Company revival of David Rabe's "Streamers," which first rocked New York more than 30 years ago.
The play concerns four young recruits awaiting deployment to Vietnam and the tensions that explode as they confront what could happen to their lives. The Roundabout production, directed by Scott Ellis, will open Nov. 11 at its Laura Pels Theatre. Preview performances begin Oct. 17.
It is based on a production Ellis directed last year at Boston's Huntington Theatre Company and uses the same cast, which includes Hale Appleman, Larry Clarke, Ato Essandoh, Brad Fleischer, Charlie Hewson, John Sharian and J.D. Williams.
"Streamers" originally opened at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater in 1976 and ran for more than 400 performances.
