Sam Shepard's Ages of the Moon Extends Two Weeks at Atlantic

Sam Shepard’s Ages of the Moon, which opened to positive reviews on January 27, has extended its run at off-Broadway’s Atlantic Theater Company. Originally set to close on March 7, the play will now run two extra weeks, through March 21.

In Ages of the Moon, Byron (Sean McGinley) and Ames (Stephen Rea) are old friends reunited by mutual desperation. Over bourbon on ice, they sit, reflect and bicker until fifty years of love, friendship and rivalry are put to the test at the barrel of a gun.

Directed by Jimmy Fay, Ages of the Moon, with McGinley and Rea in the leads, had its premiere at the Abbey Theatre in Ireland in March 2009, returning for a second run at the theater in November 2009.
