First performed in 2005, the drama is officially described
as follows:
"It’s totally familiar but dreamlike at the same
time," observes one American of Amsterdam’s notorious Red Light District
in the stunning new work from Adam Rapp. Escaping their lives in Manhattan,
former college buddies Matt and Davis take off to the Netherlands and find
themselves thrown into a bizarre love triangle with a beautiful young
prostitute named Christina. But the romance they find in Europe is eventually
overshadowed by the truth they discover at home. Written with an unflinching
poetic beauty, Red Light Winter is a play of sexual intrigue that explores the
myriad and misguided ways we seek to fill the empty spaces inside us.
Foster, who recently starred in Contraband, will be playing
the Matt role with the Davis part yet to be cast. Kirsten Dunst remains
attached to play Christina.
Jay Van Hoy, Lars Knudsen and Scott Rudin are attached to
produce.
