Tulsa PAC Closes THE SCARLET LETTER, 1/22
by BWW News Desk - Jan 22, 2011
Phyllis Nagy's play, The Scarlet Letter, has the words 'adapted from the novel by Nathaniel Hawthorne,' as opposed to simply saying 'an adaptation,' which is more typical. This is a subtle way of stating that the play is not intended to be a literal lifting of the story but more of a re-telling --with a purpose. Nagy's play is an examination of the deep, conflicting, often childish emotions of the adult characters, as partly witnessed and narrated by Hester Prynne's illegitimate daughter, Pearl, and shared with us. It is also a feminist work, in which the fates of a woman and a girl are seemingly controlled by the men, only to be thwarted because of Hester and Pearl's courageous willingness to follow their own paths. This gives the play a much more modern feel, in spite of the Puritan-style clothing the cast will wear. The language of the play is also more contemporary - and therefore less stilted than many plays set in an imagined past. We are approaching the play as a metaphor for our modern society: this is the past from which we came - where are we now? (more...)

A Theatre Lover's Guide to DC/Capital Area Theatres – September 2010 Offerings
by Joel Markowitz - Aug 29, 2010
In September, DC area theatres are filled with almost a dozen musical productions opening -- classics, family shows, and many wonderful plays being performed on our over 200 theatre venues. The humidity is finally melting away, and it's a perfect time to welcome the cooler weather and the colors of the Fall by making a trip to the Nation's Capital and catching a show or two or three. There are family shows with canines and rabbits, a Labor Day weekend theatre festival that's FREE, a new jazz musical with some of the area's most talented singers, and bugs and ants that swing on trapezes. Mr. Ripley is finally coming to town, while I'm hoping that all will be well at Shakespeare Theatre. Someone is trying to deal with a very troubling inch, a Bar-Mitzvah boy has to deal with his crazy family, spelling champions battle it out, and a beagle pilot takes flight. There's so much to choose from, so read on and see what's playing in September in this monumental town. Happy New Year to all my fellow Jewish lovers of the theatre! (more...)
