WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Night Maneuver is the story of Lou, a 26 year-old auto parts clerk and his 18 year-old brother, Tim. The two share a roach infested run down studio apartment in one of America's biggest cities. It becomes apparent both are not playing with a full deck of cards. Tim is an emotional infant, and Lou is an outrageously perverse sociopathic who trade banter that touches on sex, booze and the almost mythical exploits of their older brother, Monty. There is a drug deal unfolding around the two that could possibly change both their lives forever. As the lies and deceit begin, they both try to claw their way without the other one realizing what's going on for a showdown of sibling rivalry halfway between life and death.

The main question raised by Night Maneuver, now at the American Theatre of Actors, is how dramatist Howard Korder thought he could illuminate the lives of two brothers going absolutely nowhere by writing a play that -- after a promising first few minutes -- goes absolutely nowhere. The only truly good reasons to see this exercise in futility and repetition are the acting by Anthony Carrona and Alexander Smith and the direction and set design by Tom Bain.
Korder is best known these days for 1985's Boys' Life (due for a Second Stage revival later this fall). Interestingly enough, Night Maneuver could just as easily have been called by Boys' No Life. Lou (Caronna), ostensibly work[...]
