Theatre fans in who have booked Cincinnati hotels for a stay in the US city early next year could head to the Aronoff Center for the Arts to check out a new play from Barbara M Harkness.

The Disappointed is being staged at the centre's Fifth Third Bank Theater - an intimate setting that seats a maximum audience of 150 - on January 8th 2013.

Details on the themes and plot of the play are scarce, but it does carry the tagline "What does one do when there are no angels, no heavenly choirs, and God does not deliver?"

It is directed by Deondra Kamau Means and being performed as part of the Cincinnati Playwrights Initiative, an organisation of directors, actors and playwrights who work to bring new, locally-written productions to the stage.

The Millennium Hotel Cincinnati is in an ideal location for those heading to the Aronoff Center for the Arts, as it is just a six-minute walk away from the venue.
