Drama at the High School
I went to check out Conservatory Theatre Ensemble, the drama program at Tam High, and holy gosh, what’s going on there had my head spinning. You can read all about it in today’s Marin Independent Journal.
Don’t Believe His Lies
Robert Currier directs a delightful production of David Ives’s marvelously clever adaptation of Pierre Corneille’s 1643 farce The Liar. I wrote it up in today’s Marin Independent Journal, which you can find right around here.
If This Luau Hath Offended
Robert Currier dreamed up a Hawaiian-themed Midsummer at Marin Shakes, featuring hulu fairies in long johns, and I dutifully wrote it up for today’s Marin Independent Journal. Hie thee hence to read all about it.
Asp You Like It
I’m currently on vacation and not doing much blogging, which would kind of defeat the purpose, but I should probably mention that I have two reviews in today’s Marin Independent Journal. Both North Bay, both Shakespeare, both outdoors, and I caught ’em both last Saturday before I took off.
Doesn’t Look Shrewish
I reviewed Marin Shakes’s Pirates of the Caribbean take on Shakespeare’s problematic comedy in today’s Marin IJ, so what are you waiting for? Check it out.
Clever Nonsense
I reviewed Marin Shakes’s al fresco season opener Travesties in today’s Marin IJ, so you can hie thee hence to check out my winged words or some such rubbish.
Anonymous by Chekhov by Graves
Let’s get this out of the way first. An Anonymous Story by Anton Chekhov isn’t one of Chekhov’s plays. Like most Central Works plays, it’s by company co-director Gary Graves in collaboration with the cast and crew. It is, however, based on a novella by Chekhov, as was Central Works’ 2004 play The Duel. Nor is the anonymous narrator truly anonymous: he goes by a couple of different names in the story, but we first meet him as Stepan, a servant in the house of a St. Petersburg government functionary named Orlov.
