Invisible City Theatre Company presents the New York premiere of Purple Hearts, a new play by Burgess
Clark and winner of the Edinburgh International Festival's "Best of the Fest"
Award.
Purple Hearts
directed by Invisible City Artistic Director David Epstein is "based on real
events surrounding the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor
and the U.S.S. West Virginia on December 7, 1941. For as long as three weeks
after the attack, sailors survived aboard the sunken battleship waiting to be
rescued. At the bottom of the sea, trapped under impossible conditions, they
struggle to keep hope, and themselves, alive."
Performances beginning September 5; opening September 8 through September 22, Purple Hearts performs Wednesdays
through Saturdays at 8PM at the Gene Frankel Theatre (24 Bond Street, between Lafayette Street
and The Bowery). Tickets are $18 and can be reserved by calling 212-352-3101.
