American Buffalo
by David Mamet
February 12, 2010 through March 7, 2010
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:00pm
Description
One of David Mamet's earliest successes, this comic drama of shifting loyalty, unspoken jealousy, and lurking desperation is considered an American Classic.
Three men living just this side of destitution plan a robbery. The loot is a rare coin collection, but American Buffalo's real currency is language. The dialogue is unmistakably Mamet's: clipped, elliptical, profane, but also poetic and telling.
In the hands of Third Rail's actors and guest director Daniel Stern (Diner, Breaking Away), this will be a dynamite evening of theatre.
Single tickets $22-$29, Students $15 (plus ticketing fees)

NT Live: Nation
Based on the novel by Terry Pratchett, adapted by Mark Ravenhill
February 27, 2010 through February 28, 2010
Saturday, February 27, 2pm, and Sunday February 28, 7pm
Description
Our next screening of live-captured performance from the National Theatre, London, will be the family-friendly extravaganza Nation, based on a novel by Terry Pratchett, adapted by Mark Ravenhill.
Set in a parallel world, not dissimilar to our own, in 1860, Nation tells the story of two teenagers from different sides of the globe, who are thrown together by a tsunami: Mau, returning to his South Pacific Island tribe after a rites of passage ritual, and Daphne, travelling from her aristocratic life in Victorian England to meet her father, governor of the south seas. Despite not speaking the same language and now totally alone in the world, they have to learn to survive and face the challenges of rebuilding Mau's nation. However, as more survivors gather, their world is threatened by invading Raiders.
All tickets $20

The Gray Sisters
by Craig Wright
April 30, 2010 through May 23, 2010
Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:00pm
Description
Third Rail has always been a big fan of Craig Wright, our most frequently produced playwright. Now he's a fan of us! After seeing our award-winning production of his play Grace, he offered to pen a script specifically for Third Rail's luminous actresses.
In The Gray Sisters, four sisters unravel their family's history, and in the process grapple with questions of love, loyalty, faith, and fate.
Join us as we introduce a new work to the canon of American Drama.
Single tickets $22-$29, Students $15 (plus ticketing fees)
