Ripped from the Headlines -- and Theatre at its Best! With Football in the headlines every day, shouldn't we be paying closer attention to the violence on the field, too? Berkeley Rep’s World Premier of "XsandOs (A Gridiron Love Story)” tackled “traumatic brain injuries” of NFL Players. The sobering truth is that each season many NFL players and young high school kids suffer debilitating concussions and brain injuries. Guaranteed to be controversial, the play shows how players all too often have given their lives for the gratification of fans and team owners’ pocketbooks.
Here, Writer and Documentarian KJ Sanchez (whose “ReEntry” was an explosive Off Broadway hit) and Jenny Mercein’s play is "...based on brutally honest and heartrending interviews with players, their families, and their fans about traumatic brain injuries and their impact on the game..." Directing the play will be Berkeley Rep's talented Tony Taccone.
Backing this video is US Composer Michael Harrison Walpole, whose clients include Rock Center with Brian Williams (NBC), The Colbert Report (Comedy Central), NY Ink (TLC), and Mastercard (McCann Australia). His work has also appeared on A&E, AMC, BIO, Discovery Channel, FUSE, G4, History, ITV Studios, MTV, MTV2, Science Channel, Spike, Telemundo, etc. Here’s Michael’s jangly #IndieRock sports music from the video: High School Glory
Recently 60 Minutes devoted a segment showing that serious football training begins with kids as young as 8 years old… Yes, NFL grooming in America starts early, so Berkeley Rep's play couldn't be more timely!
