Plays of the Weeks
As the AotL Theatre Program gears up to make some connection between what we're going through and how it - maybe differently - affects us all, we note that the newest and most moving theatre is being produced and written for a medium we hadn't heard of nine months ago - Zoom.
This past week (7/8/20) The Public Theater (NYC) premiered a harrowing The Line (now thru 9/1). You can see a review here or click the link just above to start viewing.
And the week before, playwright Richard Nelson put up And So We Come Forth: A Dinner on Zoom, his second new play on the Apple Family of Rhinebeck, NY, now meeting in quarantine. They're like our neighbors.
New (7/21)! If you’re missing Shakespeare in Central Park, it is available here and here. Shut down by the pandemic, a stellar cast and director Saheem Ali reimagined Richard II – it’s about a rough transfer of power - as a radio play over four nights on WNYC.
And (7/30) "medium famous" comic Hannibal Buress previewed in NYTimes posts new special Miami Nights. -- James Shearwood.
