HISTORY

1995

DMW Greer's Burning Blue drawn from his own experiences as a Naval Aviator

makes its World Premiere at The Kings Head on London's Fringe. West End Producer, Robert Fox, moves Burning Blue to the Theatre Royal Haymarket where the production receives two Olivier Awards.

"The most topical, powerful and spellbinding play in London." - Evening Standard, London

"A miracle; a compassionate, searingly emotional play." - The Sunday Express, London

"A blockbuster !" - The Times, London

Burning Blue premiers in Cape Town and then Johannesburg, South Africa

where critics continue to praise this "...sophisticated adult drama".

The production continues its journey to Tel Aviv where it plays

to sell out houses for eighteen months.

Burning Blue then makes its American Premiere in Los Angelos, with John Hickok returning to the helm as Director, and plays to sold out houses.

"A heart-breaking love story; a visceral collision with the shattering

consequences of prejudice. Greer's dialogue churns with authenticity

and conviction." - Los Angeles Times

"Greer has created compelling characters and situations, with sharp funny

dialogue." - The Hollywood Reporter

Burning Blue opens Off Broadway in New York City. Again to public and

critical praise.

"Greer writes with blazing authority about men and machines, under tension.

With the appeal of A Few Good Men and a passionate, yet measured

denouncement of homophobia in the U.S. Navy." - The New York Post

"If you're not already angry about our militarys homophobic

Dont Ask, Dont Tell policy, DMW Greer's powerful drama

should do the trick !" - Broadway.com

"John Hickock, who also directed the London West End and Los Angeles

productions, skillfully steers the nine-member cast through the mounting

tensions and elicits robust performances from all." - Curtains Up

DMW Greer and co-writer, Helene Kvale, adapt Burning Blue for the screen.
