Ben Ahlers (The Gilded Age) and Victoria Pedretti (The Enemy of the People, You) star in a revival of Philip Ridley’s Tender Napalm beginning November 27 Off-Broadway.

Directed by Rory McGregor, performances will continue through December 15 at Theaterlab. Opening night is December 1.

Tender Napalm, which premiered in London in 2011, explores the relationship between two people and the violent world that surrounds them.

“I’m so thrilled and excited—and utterly honored—that my play, Tender Napalm, is to be seen in New York again. And in the hands of a truly remarkable team,” said playwright Ridley in an earlier statement. “The brilliant director, Rory McGregor, whose work I admire greatly, and two breathtakingly talented young actors, the wonderful Ben Ahlers and Victoria Pedretti. Tender Napalm is about love. How we find it. How we nurture it. And how we try to save it in an increasingly dangerous and terrifying world. It seems like an apt time to be doing the play.”

“From the earliest moments of my career, Philip Ridley's work has had a profound impact on me, and so I am thrilled to be directing Tender Napalm with these two extraordinary actors,” added director McGregor. “Tender Napalm is a play I've wanted to direct for years, and I've been looking to do something with Ben and Victoria for awhile, so it was kismet. I am so excited for New York audiences to see the special alchemy that these two gifted performers have together in Philip's heartbreaking and beautiful play.”

The production also has set design by Brendan Gonzales Boston, costume design by Avery Reed, lighting design by Stacey Derosier, sound design by Brian Hickey, and general management by Freya Grant.

Steady Hand Studios produces in association with McGregor.
