Coming Soon: CREATURE

New Georges teams with Page 73 Productions to present

CREATURE

a new play by Heidi Schreck
directed by Leigh Silverman

After being pestered by devils for more than half a year, Margery Kempe* – new mother, mayor’s daughter, and proprietress of a highly profitable beer business – is liberated from her torment by a vision of Jesus Christ in purple robes.

Visions are hard to come by, even in 1401. Should we trust the new Margery, with her fasting and her weeping and her chastity fixation, or burn her with the other heretics? Can a woman of insatiable appetites just up and audition for sainthood?

Playwright and OBIE-winning actor Heidi Schreck conjures a collision of contemporary and medieval imaginations: a very funny, a little bit scary new play about faith and its messengers.

with Marylouise Burke, Darren Goldstein, Sofia Jean Gomez,
Will Rogers, Tricia Rodley and Jeremy Shamos

THE BLOOD BROTHERS PRESENT…

THE NEW GUIGNOL

A father locks his daughter away because he can’t bear to share her with her mother, or anyone else. A man holds a busload of passengers hostage with no demands, and one woman does the unthinkable to attempt escape. And a scorned husband offers his wife a ghastly maternity gift. These tales and others make up this year’s THE BLOOD BROTHERS PRESENT… series, Nosedive Productions’ annual October horror show.

*this show features nudity and graphic violence and is recommended for adults only.

Coming Soon: John Jesurun's LIZ ONE

Black-Eyed Susan plays Elizabeth I of England as revealed through her private diaries. She struggles with a revolving set of presences to disentangle, un-write and finally rewrite her own biography. These intensely reflected histories include her perceptions regarding her five estranged children, their fathers, her own father, her hidden relationship with Buddhism and finally her disastrous attempt to invade North Africa. She inter-reacts with the kaleidoscopic array of ideas and characters through Jesurun's multi-dimensional use of language and technology. Jesurun and Black-Eyed Susan are long time collaborators having first worked together in Jesurun's 1984 production of "Red House".

Preview: IDIOT SAVANT

Richard Foreman returns to The Public Theater with his newest piece, IDIOT SAVANT staring Willem Defoe. Below are early production photos...

IDIOT SAVANT

Written and Directed by Richard Foreman
Featuring Willem Dafoe, Joel Israel, Alenka Kraigher, Elina Löwensohn, Eric Magnus and Daniel Allen Nelson

October 27 - December 13

Marie asks the Idiot Savant, “But what makes chosen words – magic?” What follows is a wild theatrical odyssey that could only have sprung from the fantastical mind of Richard Foreman (THE THREEPENNY OPERA), New York’s legendary avant-garde genius. This new work is a philosophical comedy, in the great tradition of Ionesco and Preston Sturges. From precise existential and metaphysical acrobatics, to a ridiculous game of inter-species golf with Giant Duck, IDIOT SAVANT is a fresh, bracing and hilarious exploration of the boundaries of the legitimate.

An Off-Broadway ANGELS IN AMERICA

It was announced today that the 2010-2011/Tony Kushner season at the Signature Theater Company (the NY one) would include the first NYC revival of Angels in America - both parts one and two, in rep. Michael Greif will direct. Ludlow thinks that it will be great to see these plays in a new production, in a more intimate setting. The $20 tickets, underwritten by Time Warner, will be gone before you can say Prior Walter. Now we are just hoping that A Bright Room Called Day will also be a part of the Kushner Season.
