The Break of Noon Erupts!

The Break of Noon off-Broadway run is going to be one of the events of the year. Aside from featuring “Californication’s” David Duchovny, The Break of Noon tickets will sell themselves, thanks to a central theme that is universal in today’s society. Fundamental thought and drama reign supreme right from the start of The Break of Noon, in the form of George Bernard Shaw’s quote: “All truths begin as blasphemies”. Tickets are selling fast for this Neil LaBute play that takes a raw look at culture and its effect on deeper human needs. Duchovny brings a great presence to the production as John Smith, the self-serving, deceptive man-turned-prophet after an encounter with the Supreme Being. The encounter occurs during tragic circumstances; a workplace shooting that erupts like a symptom of a cultural disease on the American landscape. The question of Smith’s motive hangs heavy over the theater, and it is the answer to this that people are buying Break of Noon tickets for; will Smith lead his followers along a better path in life, or is he using smoke and mirrors and dubious celebrity to obscure the skeletons in his closet? Browse the Break of Noon schedule and see Neil LaBute’s brilliant play yourself, live.
