Photo Coverage: Project Shaw Presents 'DESTINY' and 'GLIMPSE'

'THE MAN OF DESTINY is Shaw's inflammatory play about none other than the young Napoleon (Michael Cerveris) Bonaparte! He's just begun his infamous Italian Campaigne when a mysterious woman spy appears who may prove to be his downfall!

'THE GLIMPSE OF REALITY is a bold and dashing Count is on the run in the Italian countryside disguised as an old Friar. He has to try to save his life. His only weapon: his wit.

In addition to PROJECT SHAW, GTG is also producing a successful new play development program. Named for one of Shaw' inflammatory one-acts, PRESS CUTTINGS: the new plays. As Shaw was a theater critic before becoming a playwright, all writers are currently on-staff critics or journalists devoted to covering the theater scene. The three writers chosen for the first year's cycle will be David Cote, Jeremy McCarter and Robert Simonson. These plays will be developed in a year-long workshop process. Once their own theatre space is secured, GTG will be presenting a full season including two fully mounted Shaw plays and at least one new play. These plays are to focus on the Shavian precepts involving individual human rights, political and social responsibility and the comic absurdity of daily life.
