Photo Flash: Signal Ensemble Theatre's AFTERMATH
by Charlie Piane
- May 9, 2010
Signal Ensemble Theatre presents the final show of its seventh season, the world premiere of 'Aftermath,' written and directed by co-artistic director Ronan Marra. Brian Jones, founder and original leader of The Rolling Stones, was perhaps most famous for his mysterious death at age 27. Jones's lasting impact on rock ‘n roll was masked behind his sexual escapades, high profile relationships and drug induced arrests. Spanning the years 1966-1969, 'Aftermath,' a drama with the actors playing live music, maps the rise and fall of a troubled genius whose legacy was overshadowed by the very band he created. The show runs about 90 minutes with no intermission. Marra received a Jeff nomination for Best New Work for his last new play 'Landslide' (produced by Signal in 2005).
Review: A LITTLE NIGHT MUSIC, Theatre du Chatelet, Paris, February 20, 2010
by Robert Gould
- Feb 22, 2010
It is not often that a production of a vintage piece of musical theatre overshadows the original production but that is precisely what happened during a magical new staging of the Stephen Sondheim/Hugh Wheeler musical A Little Night Music at the Theatre du Chatelet in Paris last week. The musical was originally directed on Broadway in 1973 by the legendary Hal Prince and has been frequently staged at venues all over the world since then (most recently at the Menier Chocolate Factory, the Garrick Theatre on now on Broadway, directed by Trevor Nunn). But this incarnation, directed by Lee Blakely, is the most beautiful and stunning version of the show I have ever seen.
