The Seeing Place Theater, known for intense & intimate ensemble work, kicks off its 9th Season with an adaptation of one of the world's best known fables. A modern take on the classic story, THE HYSTERIA OF DR FAUSTUS explores the solemn pact made between the devil and a man who has nothing left to lose. Adapted by Brandon Walker, this brand new play combines Marlowe and Goethe's enduring fables into a dark and magical modern parable, staged in an intimate setting in the East Village. The season is being presented under the theme, IN EXTREMIS, which in Latin means 'in the farthest reaches' or 'at the point of death.'
Adapted and directed by Brandon Walker and presented by The Seeing Place Theater, The People vs. Antigone recently concluded its run at the Paradise Factory; it was one of three shows presented as part of the Whistleblower series. Depicting the 'odd man (or woman) out' as the tragic hero of their own story, the audience is given a chance to understand the dynamics of one who fights against an authority that strips people of their right to be human beings - all with the irony of supposedly doing it for the people. How can we understand a person who doesn't simply comply with what she is told, or accept what so blatantly shouldn't be? In an era where everyone seems to have a purpose or agenda, a zealousness to their step when standing up for the world's injustices, do they look at the wrongs being done or simply recognize their part of a movement towards something?
As a part of The Seeing Place Theater's eighth season, THE PEOPLE VS ANTIGONE offers a modern take on the classic Sophocles' myth. This new adaptation by Brandon Walker explores a rebel daughter taking on the patriarchy: will she lose her life when she breaks Theban law by burying her dead brother's body against decree?
