LWT Stage II presents Martin Landau in "Sixteen Wounded"...

Dear TAML member,

Long Wharf Theatre (LWT) is pleased to announce that Academy Award-winner, three-time Golden Globe-winner and three-time Emmy Award-nominee Martin Landau is making a triumphant return to the stage in the world premiere production of "Sixteen Wounded" by Eliam Kraiem. Directed by Matthew August, this new play is
set in current-day Holland. "Sixteen Wounded" is a compelling tale of the unlikely friendship between Hans (Martin Landau), an aging Jewish baker, and Mahmude, the young Palestinian he takes on as his apprentice.

In a time where reports of Mid-East violence are commonplace and casualties are often reduced to numbers, Eliam Kraiem's play paints a vivid, compassionate and deeply moving portrait of the human faces touched by the conflict. Joining Landau in the company thus far are Mia Barron (Nora), Gretchen Becker (Gretta), Omar Metwally (Mahmude), Ed Setrakian (Saleem) and ensemble members Jimi Egan, Bret A. Haines, Rebecka Jones and Ryan Evans Kessler.
