Hi!! It's a new year!!!And this year I vow to BLOG!
Winding down from a terrific First Event!
Here is the next event, perhaps.
Mark Twain's Is He Dead? - one of his more interesting plays.
My cousin, who is directing, asked if any well dressed girls might
be interested in attending. Or anyone else. Dressing is not
mandatory but would be fun. Cross dressing is a major part of the play albeit in Victorian mode. Below is a
note from his grad student which I am passing on to you
with hope you will venture out. Laurence's plays are always
superb. I can't make opening night with the reception - but
perhaps you can.
If you do go....be sure to introduce yourself to Laurence and say
you are a friend of mine.
I will probably go on the 14th or 20th if you want to make a plan. (You may
notice from the note how I came to name my business...)
Looking forward!
Natasha
Dear colleagues,
I hope your year 2015 has been fruitful and eventful so far.
Tufts Drama Department is happy and excited to share the news
about our upcoming production - Is He Dead? by Mark
Twain (adaptation by David Ives). The show is directed by
Laurence Senelick (theatre scholar, professor and the famous
author of The Changing Room).
Mark Twain is universally acknowledged as America's greatest
humorist. David Ives is celebrated as one of the most
successful comic dramatists on the modern American stage. A
combination of the two should be irresistible. Twain's
Victorian comedy of cross-dressing and mistaken identity was
recently rediscovered. Ives blew the dust off it, polished it
to a high sheen and set it in motion as a powerful machine for
raising laughs. The hero — in this case the French painter
Jean-François Millet — has reasons first to be thought dead and
then to pretend to be his own sister. His is only one of the
numerous disguises, contretemps, imbroglios and
misunderstandings that punctuate this uproarious farce. Both
Twain and Ives revel in bad jokes and puns, slapstick and
horse-play, and an outrageous amount of innuendo. It is as if
the dead author (is he dead?) and the living one are trying to
outdo one another in a game of "how low comic can you get?" The
audience is the winner.
The show will take place on February 12-14, February 19-21, 2015
at 8:00 pm in the Balch Arena Theatre (Tufts University,
Medford/Somerville campus). Below is the link to the web-page
with all the details regarding the tickets/directions: http://dramadance.tufts.edu/performances/drama.htm
Thank you for your time,
Looking forward to welcoming you at the Tufts theatre.
