Being in lockdown has prompted different responses from actors Aaron Glenane and Liv Hewson.
Glenane, who came back to Sydney from Los Angeles with his fiance and young child, admits he was “going nuts” so he had the idea of staging a live reading of Lyle Kessler’s play Orphans, which he performed at the Old Fitz Theatre five years ago.
He put the idea to Red Line Productions co-founder Andrew Henry, who reached out to Kessler. In turn Kessler approached Alec Baldwin, who starred in the Broadway production in 2013, the story of two orphaned brothers living in a decrepit North Philadelphia house.
The result was the first live streamed reading of the play, featuring Baldwin, Glenane and Henry, with stage directions and descriptions read by lifetime member of the Actors Studio Judy Jerome, on April 11/12.

War may be hell, but, as laid out in “The Cost of a Soul,” written and directed by Sean Kirkpatrick, the home front isn’t so cool either. Structured as an out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire Grand Guignol, it tells the tale of two men from Philadelphia linked anonymously by a common mission in Iraq who meet in an explosive, brutal series of tit-for-tat, inter-neighborhood reprisals. Studded with raw and powerful performances and direction that screams without success for order in a universe gone awry, it asks the too-little-asked question: Just what exactly are we fighting for if not for a better life at home?

Cost of a Soul is directed by Sean Kirkpatrick and stars Chris Kerson, Will Blagrove, Judy Jerome, Mark Borkowski, Gregg Almquist and Maddie M. Jones. This film opens in theaters on May 20th, 2011.
Story:
Cost of a Soul is the gritty tale of two wounded veterans who return home to the ghetto they joined the military to escape. As they struggle for redemption, their own families become entangled in a web of crime, corruption and violence. The film was shot in the spirit of the 1940′s film noir, but set in the modern context of a Philadelphia ghetto neighborhood. The locations used during production were some of the most violent neighborhoods in America as Kirkpatrick’s goal was to embrace the reality of the situation within those neighborhoods.
