Avalon, A Feminist Arthurian Play, Runs Off-Bway, Feb. 2-25
By: BWW News Desk Jan. 20, 2006
"Avalon is a retelling of the King Arthur legend
based on the women behind the throne. Presenting a reality of the times
never seen before, Avalon is still a mystical journey through England where
battles rage over the roles of religion and feminism in government.
De-vilifying classic scourges like Morgan La Fey and making them the
protagonists, this is an exciting, sexy, action-packed romp through the magical
world of Camelot," state production notes.
The cast includes: Ali Baynes, Andrew
Beattie, John Bertrand, Linda Blackstock, Dolan Byrnes, Matthieu Cornillon, Amy
Dannenmueller, Randy Howk, Sarah Jebian, Jesse May, Jordana Oberman, Cameron
Peterson, Susan Rankus, Yvonne Roen, Joe Sevier, Matthew Sholler, Randi Sobol,
Maggie Surovell, Jess Cassidy White, and Michael Whitney.
Glory Bowen directs Avalon. She recently
directed The Snow Queen at The Looking Glass
Theatre, and is currently represented Off-Broadway with Anomal. She is
also well-versed in Arthurian legend and theology, applying her knowledge of
Druidism to this production. The rest of the artistic team includes: Ryan
Bartruff (fight choreography), Chris Brooks (sound design), Irma L. Escobar
(costumes), Carolyn Mraz (scenic designer), Brittany Rostron (assistant director), Hana Mori Taylor (assistant director & choreographer), and Amanda
Woodward (lighting designer).
