The Alabama Shakespeare Festival, one of the country's leading theatres in the creation of new stage works, will produce the world premieres of Nobody and The Fall of the House this spring. Produced in a series called Provocative Premieres, Nobody will run March 12-28 and The Fall of the House will run April 9-25. Both plays have been developed through ASF's prestigious Southern Writers' Project new play development program. The Provocative Premieres are suggestive, stimulating and extreme, promising to take audiences to The Edge.
Tickets for Nobody and The Fall of the House range from $20-$36 per show and can be purchased at the ASF Box Office, by visiting on line at www.asf.net or by phone at 800.841.4273. ASF is located at 1 Festival Drive in Montgomery's Blount Cultural Park.Richard Aellen's new musical play Nobody is based on an uncomfortable and important piece of history-the minstrel show-highlighted by the tempestuous lives of Bert Williams and George Walker, who broke racial barriers by portraying racial stereotypes. The two down-on-their-luck African American vaudevillians can't catch a break until they do the unthinkable - Don Blackface. But with fame and fortune come personal and social turmoil that threaten their relationships and their lives. The score for Nobody features a number of William's and Walker's turn of the century vaudeville tunes.Are you an avid theatergoer?
