Stories about mothers have been around for as long as...well...mothers. And with Mother's Day coming up this Sunday, it's hard not to reflect and think about our own mothers or the other mothers in our lives. Or to remember some of the stories and memories that the word 'mother' conjures up. With its production of The Beauty Queen of Leenane, The Gamm Theatre offers up an undeniably darker and arguably quite disturbing tale of one mother and how she rules her house and her daughter.
The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh, directed by Judith Swift, is now running at the Gamm Theatre, May 2-June 2, 2013. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the production below.
The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) concludes its 29th Season with what promises to be a hilariously comic, aggressively dark and highly entertaining production of The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Martin McDonagh. The Irish-born playwright's multi-award-winning play, called 'Riveting...and cruelly amusing' by The New Yorker, focuses on the suffocating relationship between forty-year-old spinster Maureen (Jeanine Kane) and her aging and increasingly needy mother, Mag (Wendy Overly)--two seriously flawed characters locked in mutual loathing.
Writers spend their entire careers, perhaps their entire lives, trying to find the right words. The perfect words. Those which will elevate their writing from something ordinary and dull to a lofty place among the great works of literary art. Some concepts, though, can't be so easily put into words. Cannot be defined or explained in any way that truly does them justice. Loves is one of those things and the attempt to put it into words is at the center of Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing, currently running at the Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre.
The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm) will stage The Real Thing, British playwright Tom Stoppard's Tony-award-winning 'best play' about the nature and mystery of love. BroadwayWorld has a first look below.
