"M Butterfly" at Brookfield Theatre

Press release

Love and Betrayal Take Center Stage in "M Butterfly"

When M. Butterfly premiered in 1988, its remarkable story of international espionage and personal betrayal solidified its status as a modern classic. Based on the real-life affair between a French diplomat and a mysterious Chinese opera singer, it blurred the boundaries between male and female, East and West. For the 2017 Broadway Revival Version, Hwang has incorporated new material inspired by details of the relationship that have emerged since the play first seduced audiences.
This intoxicating reimagining of M. BUTTERFLY examines the nature of love and the devastating cost of deceit.

The cast stars Miles Everett, Todd Santa Maria, Andres Idrovo Castillo, Tony Benedetti, Kristin Aug, Rachel Ames, Aranka Vitarius, Sandy Vallati, Rick Stewart, and Vincent Chistoni. It features fight and
intimacy choreography by Pippa Walton, dance choreography by Nell Walton, and music coaching by Maggi Heilweil. Please note the show contains brief nudity and depiction of suicide and guns. It is not
intended for young audiences.

Performances will be held at Brookfield Theatre located on Route 25 by the library from Sept. 12 through Oct. 4 on Friday and Saturday at 8 PM with matinees on Sunday at 2PM. Reserved seating tickets are $25 regular, $20 for seniors or students.

Reservations can be made at www.BrookfieldTheatre.org. There will also be a free preview for area senior citizens on Thursday, Sept. 11 at 8 PM.
