Liminis Theater Presents World Premiere of GIVE THE MAP by Robert Hawkes
by BWW News Desk - November 17, 2016
The first scene of King Lear goes badly for the old man, as we know. But what the heck was he expecting, anyway? This one-act prologue to Shakespeare's version of the tale seeks to answer that very question, as the King and his Fool try desperately to control events that have not even happened yet. An old man tries to retire from public life with what he considers to be the dignity befitting his station, and sets himself up to fail. Along the way, we encounter memory, grief, denial, the power of language, clowning, fooling, and the invisibility of numbers.

WordStage Literary Concerts Presents RICHARD WAGNER'S VISIT TO ROSSINI – PARIS 1860
by BWW News Desk - November 03, 2016
In 1860 Wagner went to Paris to arrange a performance of his new opera, Tannhauser at the Paris Opera. While there he made the obligatory visits to the great composers living in and around the city. His visit to Rossini was memorable as the older Bel Canto school composer had reportedly made some very disparaging remarks about Wagner's music, so Wagner went with more than a bit of trepidation. These rumors proved to be false and what ensued was an afternoon of an exchange of musical ideas and reminiscences about their careers and accomplishments, in which they shared opinions on and cited influences of a number of the great composer of their era. All this was recorded by the Parisian musician and journalist, Edmond Michotte.
