Photo Flash: Alison Fraser and Robert Cuccioli Take Part in Project Shaw Double Bill
By: BWW News Desk Sep. 22, 2016
Gingold Theatrical Group's Project Shaw, under the leadership of Artistic Director David Staller, continued its 11th Season with its 116th concert presentation: a double bill featuring Harley Granville-Barker's Farewell to the Theatre and George Bernard Shaw's Interlude at The Playhouse on September 19 at Symphony Space's Leonard Nimoy Thalia Theatre. BroadwayWorld has photos below!
As Project Shaw continues to branch out to include playwrights who were instrumental in the formation of 'Shaw the Playwright', the organization brings you Farewell to the Theatre, a short play by one of Shaw's muses and one of the most important men of the theatre in the 20th century, Harley Granville-Barker. This rarely seen gem, written in 1916, takes a loving look at the theatre, the choices we make, the dreams that obsess us, and the importance of moving on in life against all odds. An evening double bill with Farewell to the Theatre is Interlude at The Playhouse by Bernard Shaw, written in 1907. It's opening night at a grand new playhouse in London. The theatre manager/star of the evening is scheduled to make a speech but he's simply not up to it. Luckily, his put-upon wife is there to coax the audience in the right mood and save the day.
Farewell to Theatre featured Alison Fraser and Robert Cuccioli. Interlude at The Playhouse also featured Ms. Fraser and Mr. Cuccioli with a special surprise guest star.
The 2016 Project Shaw Season continues with On The Rocks (October 24), J.M. Barrie'sAlice Sit-By-The-Fire (November 21), and Androcles and the Lion (December 19). For more, visit www.projectshaw.org.
