4. The Leopard and The Fox – A Play based on the last days of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Preview Video http://www.alteregoproductions.org/blog/about_us/videos_the_leopard_and_the_fox/ Dates: October 17 to November 3: Wednesday through Saturday at 8 pm; Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 pm
Where: TBG Main Space 312 W 36th St (between 8th and 9th Avenue), 3rd floor New York City, New York
THE LEOPARD AND THE FOX- The acclaimed book The Leopard and The Fox by noted writer Tariq Ali has been adapted by Rajiv Joseph, an emerging new voice in South Asian playwrighting. The play follows the last days of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Pakistan's first popularly elected Prime Minister, betrayed by his closest confidante, his army chief General Zia Ul Haq, ousted and then executed in a power grab. Before he died he left his political legacy in the hands of Benazir Bhutto, who is as we speak preparing to return from exile, as the country's Prime Minister, to share power with Pakistan's unpopular military leader Pervez Musharraf. This timely play, under Joseph's deft language uncovers vividly the fissures that exist in a country between its powerful military establishment and an older guard with its political baggage, who have never followed through with their promises. In a prescient piece of timing, Benazir is returning to Pakistan on October 18th, a day before we open.

The Leopard and The Fox will be performed at: TBG Main Space, 312W, 36th St (between 8th and 9th Avenue), 3rd floor. Tickets are available at http://www.smarttix.com/show.aspx?showCode=LEO1 or at (212)-868-4444. General admission: $18.00 Contact : Shourin Roy Phone : 646-662-6057
Previously, Alter Ego produced A First Class Man, Who's Afraid of Vijay Tendulkar?, Fatwa, Indian Ink, Chaos Theory, and Hayavadana. Our most successful production to date — the New York premiere of Tom Stoppard's Indian Ink — ran at the Soho Repertory Theater from August 16, 2003 through September 7, 2003. It was a critical and popular success prompting us to extend it to a short Off-Broadway run and TheaterMania to list it under the 2003's category for "Shows You Should Have Seen But Probably Didn't".

Price: $75 per movie Event Phone Number: 646-478-7689
Neighborhood: Lower East Side, 139 Norfolk Street, New York, NY 10002

In a city where bars and restaurants close constantly, Grand Opening came up with a way to circumvent the process. Every few months, the venue on 139 Norfolk St. closes and reopens as something new. A few months ago it was a single ping-pong table, an idea that proved to be so popular they probably could have kept the concept going permanently. But since mid-September, Grand Opening has been operating as DRV-IN, Manhattan's only drive-in movie theater. In a 1965 Ford Falcon convertible that seats up to six, patrons can watch classic films from the past four decades for $75 per film. There are two shows every night at 7 p.m. and 10 p.m., and a full concession stand. Most of the films are already booked, but check back on the DRV-IN website http://www.139norfolk.com/ for additional screenings. This week, the flicks shift decades and celebrate the '70s.
