I COUNT TIME BY HOW A BODY SWAYS
A Tale of Seduction and Confession
Late Night Theatre at Beowulf Alley, 11 South 6th Avenue, Downtown between Broadway and Congress, presents its final weekend of John Coyle’s controversial World War II-era play, I Count Time by How a Body Sways.

I Count Time How a Body Sways tells the story of an American soldier who guards a female French collaborator at night. Their conversations are part seduction, part confession as the war comes to an end and they face their own culpability. This play has mature themes, language and situations. I Count Time by How a Body Sways is directed by Josh Parra and features Mike Miller and Aelynn Heinrichs. http://www.beowulfalley.org/html/lnt_at_the_alley.html
A haunting acrylic painting, by Amber Roberts, is the source for the poster for this play. Amber is raffling off her painting to raise funds for Late Night Theatre. For just $5, you have an opportunity to own this original piece of art. Tickets are sold during all performances of Out to Lunch Theatre on Wednesday, Seascape on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and Late Night on Friday and Saturday. The drawing will be held at the final performance of I Count Time by How a Body Sways.
