Alex Winter Signs On as Producer of Naomi Wallace's Slaughter City

Alex Winter, who will star in the upcoming Broadway production of Waiting for Godot with Keanu Reeves, has signed on as a producer of Naomi Wallace’s Slaughter City along with Small Boat Productions.

First produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1996, Wallace’s play will have its New York City premiere at A.R.T./New York Theatre’s Jeffrey and Paula Gural Theatre for a run scheduled October 4-18. Reuven Glezer directs.

“I’m very excited to be collaborating with Ben Natan and the theater company at Small Boat, who are creating vibrant and urgent work,” said Winter. “Wallace’s masterful play, Slaughter City, is a visceral drama that speaks perfectly to this moment.”

Mixing reality and dream, the radical and the mystic, Slaughter City is a searing drama about life in the meat-packing industry.

The ensemble cast for Slaughter City includes Lucy Buchanan, Gil Charleston, Le’Asha Julius, Gabrielle Kogut, Owen Laheen (Translations, Henry IV), Ben Natan (Richard III), Nicolas Eric Sanchez, and Alan Simon, along with Mario C. Brown, Jacob Dysart, Catt Filippov, Raven Jeannette, and Kristin KP Sgarro who serve as understudies.
