Unholy War - Tech Shots

Some people fall in love with the way their love is refused. They become infected with heartbreak and spread the despair of unrequited love to others they share their beds, and what's left of their heart, with. This destructive love affair with heartbreak was the driving force behind the original play Unholy War, written by Dui Jarrod and produced by myself. Unholy War's run in Atlanta recently came to an end and as I reflect on the long nights and hard work that went into the production I'm incredibly impressed by the outcome of our efforts. The dramatic stage play had a four day run at 7 Stages Theater in Little Five Points and was sold out every night, receiving standing ovations regularly for our grassroots production. The gripping performances enthralled the crowd and delivered equal parts drama and humor. Woven into the dialogue was a parallel to the story of Adam, Eve and Delilah, providing an allegorical reference not lost on the sophisticated crowd. The tech shots below were taken to capture the most poignant moments of the stage play. Enjoy and check us out during our New York run.
