New Hampshire Theatre Project's 25th Season to Open with SIX CHARACTERS IN SEARCH OF AN AUTHOR, 11/15-12/1
by BWW News Desk - October 29, 2013
New Hampshire Theatre Project's 25th Anniversary Seasonopens with Six Characters in Search of an Author, written by Luigi Pirandello. With its startling originality, Six Characters is now considered one of the most influential plays in the history of world literature, although it incited audience rioting at its 1921 debut in Rome. In what begins as a realistic play, six figures arrive who make the extraordinary claim that they are the incomplete but independent products of an author's imagination - 'characters' the author abandoned when he couldn't complete their story. These 'characters' have come in search of someone who will give them the fullness of literary life. Furthermore, these 'characters' outrageously claim that they are more 'real' than the actors who eventually want to portray them. Pirandello showed how illusion mixes with reality and how people see the same thing in many different ways. Considered the forerunner of Theatre of the Absurd, Pirandello was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1934.

MONTY PYTHON'S SPAMALOT "raises silliness to an artform!" (The Sunday Times).

BWW Reviews: Deborah Jean Templin and Her UNSINKABLE WOMEN
by Daniel Adams - October 24, 2013
On October 23rd I was met with an interesting opportunity for an evening of entertainment. I actually had to make a choice. Sit back and watch game 1 of the World Series or hop in a car and make the drive to Concord, New Hampshire to see a one woman show entitled, Unsinkable Women: Stories & Songs from the Titanic. I chose the latter and was not disappointed.
