By: Linda Lenzi Mar. 31, 2006
The New York premiere of A Safe Harbor for Elizabeth Bishop, by Marta Góes and featuring OBIE-winning and Academy Award- and Golden Globe-nominated actress Amy Irving, began previews on March 21st and opened on March 30th at 59E59 Theaters (59 East 59th Street between Park & Madison Avenues) for a limited run through April 30th.
The show is presented by Primary Stages and directed by Richard Jay-Alexander. "Irving (Oscar-nominated for Yentl; Amadeus, Three Sisters and more on Broadway) plays the Pulitzer Prize winning poet Elizabeth Bishop, a woman whose profound passion for art and beauty produced four volumes of poetry, numerous short stories, and a near 20-year romance with the extraordinary Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares," state press notes. "Marta Góes' play transports us to the harbors of Rio, Seattle, New York, and Boston, as it details a sweeping landscape of the truths behind commitment. Overflowing with love, loss, politics, and sexual intrigue, A Safe Harbor for Elizabeth Bishop invites us on a journey of redemption and self-acceptance."
