New Directions Theater will present the world premiere of Richard Willett's 9/10, which tells four stories set in the World Trade Center on the night before the tragic events of September 11, 2001, beginning August 24 at Off-Broadway's Gene Frankel Theatre with an official opening August 28.

Eliza Beckwith, a co-founder of New Directions Theater—which returns following a 10-year absence—will direct a cast that features Jessie Barnes, Jr, Sean Gordon, Royce Thomas Johnson, Chandini Prakash, Kimberly Prentice, Vincent Rame, Alexandra Salter, and Milai Taguchi. 

In the new play several people—lovers, friends, co-workers, some at play, some at work—are in the midst of seemingly normal but life-altering circumstances in the hours before sunrise.

The production, which continues through September 10, will also have sets by Maureen Weiss, lights by Ethan Samaha, costumes by Kim B. Walker, and sound by Jay Cowit.

Willett is also the author of A Terminal Event and Grief at High Tide. New Directions Theater has previously produced his plays as well as those by Don Rifkin, Michael Weller, and Olga Humphrey.
