The Women of Troy

Lunacy Stageworks
October 2 - 24, 2009

Summary:

An original adaption of Euripides' Hecuba and Trojan Women, written by Elisabeth Harvey. It is often said that nothing influences us today so much as the follies and treasures of the ancient West: of old Greece, the Rome it became, the Europe it influenced, and the America it spilled into.

Sight Unseen

Lunacy Stageworks
June 5 - 27, 2009

Review by peanutduck

Sight Unseen - grappling with Art, the Holocaust, bitter ex-love - teeters between contrivance and daring complexity. Tonight: contrived; without through line. Stephan Henry only mechanically hits beats; Hadley Boyd is shrilly unbelievable. Play belongs to supporting players: understated, forthright Joe Bolenbaugh, and Bridie Harrington, whose intensity immediately captures stage.

Jack and Jill

Lunacy Stageworks
October 24 - November 23, 2008

Summary:

By turns funny, sensual and fierce, Jack and Jill mines the subtle and often treacherous depths of modern wedlock. To love, honor and cherish - those are the easy parts of the union. It is knowing where one person leaves off and the other begins that proves the stumbling block.
