Cast Set for Jovanka Bach’s Nightsong For the Boatman

John DiFusco, Nicole Scipione, Alex Wells, Michael Byrne, Donna Luisa Guinan, Geoffrey Hillback, Amanda Landis and John Landis will be featured in the New York premiere of the late Jovanka Bach’s Nightsong For the Boatman, at TBG Theatre, January 6-30, with an opening on January 13. John Stark will direct.

The play centers on aging, alcoholic, washed-up poet Harry Appleman. When he attempts suicide by jumping off a bridge, Harry is stopped by a sardonic boatman. The boatman wants Harry to give his life to the devil — unless Harry wins a round of dice. After Harry loses, he must cross the River Styx or find a willing participant to go in his place.
