Drama, Play
We would love for you to join us for the World Premiere of the controversial new play Birth of a MURDERER @ Desert Stages.
Show opens May 19th and runs thru June 10th (Fri & Sat) @ 7:30 pm.
Birth Of A MURDERER: a black male college student falls haplessly in love with a white coed and finds out she isn't how she appears. Slowly but surely, he begins to unravel and the result is shocking and perplexing.
It’s so rare to get an intimate portrayal of HOW a Murderer is formed. We get television shows like YOU, Dexter, and Barry where the audience roots for the killer, but has no idea who they actually are. And then you get David Fincher’s, Mindhunter, where the FBI gives the audience a closer look psychologically as to WHY. Yet nothing is addressed as to HOW.
Birth of A MURDERER is a modern-day Othello, where the Iago character is in the protagonist's mind. We HEAR his mind as his actions go against every moral fiber of his being and upbringing. Don Quixote once said The belief in virtue is more important than virtue itself. That is Robert Wainwright. In the end, Wainwright kills that which he loves most.
