Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw, under the leadership of Artistic Director David Staller, continued its 11th Season with its 115th concert presentation with George Bernard Shaw's The Apple Cart last night at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2537 Broadway at 95th Street).
Shaw's 1929 farcical comedy is subtitled "A Political Extravaganza!" English King Magnus has quite a day on his hands. His Cabinet, headed by a devious Prime Minister, wants him dethroned. His extravagantly volatile mistress and his extremely ambitious Queen both have their grip on him. And then, the American Ambassador arrives announcing the Grand Plan to colonize Britain. It's all part of the Royal game, pitting Magnus against the Fates to do whatever he can to not upset The Apple Cart.
The Apple Cart featured Donald Corren (Semphronius), Jim Brochu (Boanerges), Michael Cumpsty (King Magnus), Tony Sheldon (Proteus, The Prime Minister), Henry Yuk (Nicobar), William DeMeritt (Crassus), Robert Zukerman (Balbus), Alison Cimmet (Amanda), Robin Miles (Lysistrata), Melissa Errico (Orinthia, The Royal Mistress), Jackie Hoffman (The Queen). Bill Kux (Vanhattan), Daniel Marconi (Pamphillius) and Matt Windman (amNY Theater Critic) served as Narrator.
