PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 18th, 2019
Danny and the Deep Blue Sea
May 18th, 2019 , Los Angeles CA – Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, written by John Patrick Shanley, directed by Graham Hamilton, and featuring Rebekah Tripp and Patrick Wenk-Wolff, opening June 9th and running through June 29th for 6 performances ONLY at Thymele Arts Center – California Room – 5481 Santa Monica Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90029.
Violent, vulnerable, yearning for something. Two strangers find their way to each other in a dark and dirty bar. They are both in deep need but without the wherewithal to help themselves. They do, however, attempt to reach outside of their broken exteriors and connect.
From the moment these two share the same air they engage in what Shanley refers to as, ‘An Apache Dance; a violent dance for two people’. The push/pull between them is palpable, hungered for, and may burn out as quickly as the flame was lit.

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR
Graham Hamilton -Born in Western Montana and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Graham Hamilton is a graduate of the Juilliard School and has performed in New York, London, and in regional theatres across the country exploring a variety of genres from American contemporary to French farce to Shakespeare and the avant-garde.
In 2013, Hamilton produced and starred in the west coast premiere of Philp Ridley’s Tender Napalm at SIX01 Studio in downtown Los Angeles. The sold-out production was widely celebrated, garnering Ovation and Drama Critics Circle nominations and ultimately going on to win four LA Weekly awards including Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Fight Choreography.
A proud member of The Echo Theatre Company, The Antaeus Company, The Shakespeare Center, and Word Theatre, he is based in Los Angeles.

ABOUT THE ACTORS

Danny is a passion piece for Rebekah and bringing it to the stage with this phenomenal team is a dream.

Patrick Wenk-Wolff (Danny) was born in Sao Paulo, Brazil to a German Dad and Brazilian Mom. Most people don’t believe he’s Brazilian by looking at him, but Patrick would like to remind everyone that pale people are everywhere. He speaks four languages (poorly), has been acting for almost 20 years, and really likes chicken. He was last seen on a national Progressive commercial called “Future Son,” and on stage at the Antaeus Company (of which he is a proud member).
