Written & Directed by Nicky Silver
Acclaimed playwright and Tisch Drama alumnus Nicky Silver returns to direct his own play, but with a special element of added value a curtain raiser, newly written to complement the StageWorks production! Described in Variety as "Exhilarating! Exceedingly funny! The playwright wields his wit like a scalpel & written with the florid theatricality and seething emotional adrenaline that are the hallmarks of Silver's unique voice," The Altruists revolves around a dedicated, if disorganized and demented, group of young radicals. These are rebels who protest. But their morality is put to the test one day when Sydney, a shallow, anorexic soap-opera actress, fires a gun into the hulking body of her sleeping boyfriend!·
