Last summer, the “rocking, rebellious, and raw” Amoralists theater company presented Derek Ahonen’s sexually charged Pink Knees on Pale Skin as part of the HotelMotel double feature set inside a makeshift room at the Gershwin Hotel. This summer the Amoralists are back with associate artistic director and cofounder Ahonen’s detective noir The Bad and the Better, running June 14 through July 21 at the more traditional Peter Jay Sharp Theater on West 42nd St. Featuring a cast of more than two dozen, the story follows two brothers who are caught up in internal and external battles with hypocrisy, injustice, corruption, and family loyalty. The show is directed by Daniel Aukin, who is also currently elming the multiple-Obie-winning 4000 Miles at the Mitzi E. Newhouse.
