And now a word from my friends "The Night Alive":
Fans of Oscar-nominated movie Birdman might already be aware that The Geffen Playhouse is the premiere theatre of Los Angeles as it gets a mention or two in the movie. Currently electrifying the stage there is devilishly handsome Irish actor Peter O'Meara in artistic director Randall Arneys west coast premiere production of The Night Alive by award-winning Irish writer Conor McPherson. Audiences might well recall O'Meara from Steven Spielberg/Tom Hanks HBO war series Band of Brothers. In The Night Alive he is nuanced cunning and outright terrifying. The play takes us to a small room in Dublin where a man called Tommy plays good Samaritan to a lost and damaged girl call Aimee. O'Meara shows up as the dangerous and malevolent boyfriend Kenneth...don't wanna give too much away here..but let's say he has a whole lot of charm mixed with some forceful impact. If you're in LA do yourself a cultural favour and get yourself to the Geffen. The Night Alive runs there until March 15th 2015.
