Gingold Theatrical Group's PROJECT SHAW, under the leadership of Founding Artistic Director David Staller, presents its 97th production, Henrik Ibsen's farce League of Youth, on Monday, October 27 at 7pm, at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre (2895 Broadway at 95th St.).
Adapted and directed by David Staller, League of Youth is a farce by Henrik Ibsen-his first non-verse play in an attempt to move his style toward realism. This broad comedy tells the tale of a wildly ambitious young man determined to take over the government of a town. In nineteenth-century Norway, it was widely considered Ibsen's most popular play, lauded for its natural and witty dialogue, cynical humor and farcical intrigue. "Gingold Theatrical Group is proud to present the New York debut of League of Youth, by the man who inspired Shaw to begin writing plays," said Artistic Director David Staller. "We're offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience a brand new classic Ibsen comedy. Shaw became a playwright due to the influences of Ibsen and Chekhov, and Project Shaw is proud to be branching out with these presentations." The cast of League of Youth features Wesley Taylor (Stensgård), George S. Irving (Chamberlain Bratsberg), Max Gordon Moore (Doctor Fieldbo), Edward Hibbert (Daniel Heire), Chad Kimball (Aslaksen), Lisa O'Hare (Thora Bratsberg), Nick Wyman (Anders Lundestad), Jim Brochu (Mons Monsen), Jordan Coughtry (Bastain Monsen), Cynthia Darlow (Madam Rundholmen), and Roberto Cambeiro (Erik Bratsberg).
