Target Margin Theater Announces its '06-'07 Season

On the heels of its production of Goethe's Faust, Target Margin Theater, Off Off Broadway's Obie Award-winning company, is going Greek for its upcoming 2006-2007 Season.

Artistic Director David Herskovits has announced three new productions that explore theatre's relationship to ancient Greek literature.   The season will begin with the premiere of As Yet Thou Art Young and Rash, an adaptation of Euripides' Suppliants.   This new production, directed by Herskovits, begins previews on Tuesday, January 9, 2007, at the Ohio Theatre (66 Wooster Street, SoHo).  Opening night is set for Sunday, January 14 (the production runs through February 3).   

As a companion to the season opener, The TMT Greek Laboratory, a series of events, readings and performances based on Hellenic drama and philosophy, has been scheduled for January, 2007.  The lab will feature a new adaptation of Sophocles' The Women of Trachis (c. 431-319 BCE) by Kate E. Ryan, directed by TMT Artistic Associate, Alice Reagan (recipient of a 2006 Princess Grace Award).  

The 2006-2007 Target Margin Theater Season continues with two new productions presented by The Kitchen: Dinner Party, an adaptation of Plato¹s Symposium, directed by Mr. Herskovits; and The Argument (Aristotle's Poetics), written and performed by David Greenspan and directed by Mr. Herskovits.  

"For more than 15 years, Target Margin Theater has been at the forefront of New York¹s alternative theater scene and has been praised for its bold and sometimes wild interpretations of classic dramas and lesser-known works. TMT has presented re-thinkings of plays by Shakespeare, Chekhov, Brecht, Gertrude Stein and Beaumarchais, among others. The company's production of Mamba's Daughters received the Obie Award and was a success of the 1999 Spoleto Festival," press notes state.
