Roberto Zucco is the first show of Buddies' 24 – 25 season, running September 15 – October 5, 2024. About the play:
Roberto Zucco lures us into wet streets and gloomy rooms of 1980s Europe, where a young, charismatic serial murderer seduces his prey. Combining the violence of Tarantino with the rage of David Wojnarowicz and working over the themes of Hamlet, Oedipus, and Icarus, Zucco brings the suspense of film noir to the stage. Written as he was dying due to complications from AIDS in 1989, Koltès’ sordid swan song is breathlessly violent but maintains a pitch-black wit and occasionally disarming tenderness. Caught between the realms of true crime and grotesque fantasy, the play shines blistering sunlight on our darkest impulses — by the end, you’ll wonder if we’re just flightless birds in the face of our fates.
