Crave in Massachussetts, USA The Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club present Crave on 30 Sept, 1-8 Oct 2-11. The director is Nasir Husain and the producer is Danielle Drees. The actors are Phil Gillen (A), Stewart Kramer (B), Mariel Pettee (C) and Emily Hyman (M). "A creative mind is on the verge of collapse. Wrenched apart by unrequited love and unfulfilled longing, its four fragmented voices reverberate with trauma as they struggle to achieve harmony. A would-be mother. A recovering addict. An abused girl. A lovelorn pedophile. These wounded figures share a single life, devoted to the painstaking task of written expression. Sarah Kane's richly lyrical and vividly imagistic text is the story of their last breaths, their final furious attempts at articulation before inevitable, ultimate silence. Experimenting with theatrical form, Kane furthers her exploration of themes like obsessive desire and brutality in love by depicting the devastation they inflict on the internal landscape of a mind." It is on at Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Click on the image for details.

Blasted in Rotterdam, The Netherlands Blasted in Dutch is on in Rotterdam. It is on at the Rotterdamse Schouwberg from 19-20 Jan 2011. The actors are Peter Blok, Eline ten Camp and Benja Bruijning. The director is Thibaud Delpeut, translation and music are by Thibaud Delpeut. Het weerzien van een cynische tabloidjournalist (Peter Blok) en een naïef jong meisje (Eline ten Camp) ontspoort in een nachtmerrie, de wereld buiten hun hotelkamer verandert in een oorlogsgebied – alsof het geweld buiten een afspiegeling is van het geweld binnen. Op zoek naar liefde en verlossing ontdekken ze de flinterdunne scheidslijn tussen menselijkheid en barbarij. Wat blijft over van onze beschaving als er oorlog uitbreekt? Regisseur Thibaud Delpeut werkte onder meer bij Toneelgroep Amsterdam en Het Nationale Toneel. Delpeut: “Ik denk dat voor theater een belangrijke functie is weggelegd als intellectueel spookhuis. Weinig hedendaagse toneelstukken raken ons zo hard en diep als Blasted. Uiteindelijk draait het stuk om de heftige pogingen van de personages om tot liefde te komen. Blasted schetst een afgrond waarin je kunt turen, waarna je een stap terug doet en zegt: daar gaan we niet heen. Ik geloof dat het werk van Sarah Kane thuis hoort tussen Ibsen, Beckett, Brecht en Büchner. Ze is een van de grote toneelvernieuwers.” The full tour is: |
