Wilde's Banned Biblical Play SALOME Opens 2017 Season for Provincetown Theater

Oscar Wilde's wildly controversial "Salome" will be presented May 4 to May 20 at The Provincetown Theater. Written in 1891, the play was quickly condemned as a blasphemous take on The Old Testament tale of Salome, and banned in England for the next forty years. The play is full of religious mysticism, prophecy and superstition. Its characters mull over ideas about religious belief, morality, the ruling class, and especially human lust and sexual desire. Wilde's lyrical text mates image-rich cadences and repetitions with the narcissistic, violent and sexually-charged appetites of the play's central characters.

BWW Review: The Stake is Raised High in Provincetown Theater's DRACULA FOR DUMMYS

Did you ever wonder what would happen if the traditional Dracula story was made into something so perfectly absurd that it actually turns itself funny? If what is meant to be a frightening tale of the undead becomes a wacky, Barbie doll- infested, cross-dressing adventure that brings the quest to defeat the rather attractive Count Dracula to an entirely new level? Whereas the typically eerie feel of the Dracula tale will cause quite a few goose-bumps, Dracula for Dummys at the Provincetown Theater will bring on a major tingle of excitement because of how freakin' fun it is to be a part of this unique experience.

BWW Preview: Take a Bite of DRACULA FOR DUMMYS at the Provincetown Theater

Vampires have become such an essential part of American culture, even if they are only fictional beings; from one of the first allusion to them in Polidori's The Vampyre to more modern takes on this age-old creature, it is amazing how vampires have become the talk of the town - the town being in movies, the written word and now, in this premiere on Cape Cod. DiVincenzo understands their importance, making reference to the Lugosi's famous film legacy. 'I feel like it's a timeless story. Dracula is an icon. I think it's an indelible mark that 1931 film made in our culture. What we're giving [audiences] now is a much younger approach to the Dracula story.'

Provincetown Theater Presents DRACULA FOR DUMMYS

The Provincetown Theater is pleased to present Dracula For Dummys, playing October 8 to 31. Strange events unfold as a play within a play within a play. The theater's lights go out moments before curtain. Eight actors scramble to their places as the show must go on!  This odd group of friends band together to save the life of a dear friend and to rid their theater of a blood-sucking vampire. You don't want to miss this hilarious musical tribute to Dracula, the beloved late night television horror classic!

Provincetown Theater to Present THE DRESSER, 4/6-24

The Provincetown Theater brings the Broadway and West End hit "The Dresser" to its stage April 6 to 24.  "The Dresser", written by Ronald Harwood, chronicles the end times of Great Britain's once-grand theatrical touring companies.  The play, set in 1942, is both touching and hilarious, revealing the shabby egos, ridiculous obsessions, and blind loyalties played out behind the glamour of the stage.

Photo Flash: First Look at Cape Rep Theatre's 'MR. BURNS'

Cape Rep presents the Cape Cod Premiere of Anne Washburn's Mr. Burns, a post electric play through October 18. The BroadwayWorld.com review called it 'Riveting, thought-provoking and just completely different.' Check out a first look below!

BWW Review: MR. BURNS Brings Fiction to Reality in a Bright New Light at Cape Rep

Written by Anne Washburn (who is also the show's lyricist) with a score by Michael Friedman and hereby directed by Philip Hays, Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play makes its appearance on Cape Cod following a successful run at Playwrights' Horizons in New York, and can now begin surprising audiences all over again with its current run. Taking a first glance at the show's poster, one can get a vague idea of what this show is actually about. There are people huddled around what looks like a campfire, their seated forms casting shadows that resemble what appear to be characters from the widely popular cartoon, The Simpsons; only then is the connection made between what Washburn's show might be about and the use of Mr. Burns' name as the titular focus. It seems odd to base an entire show on The Simpsons, but what is even more mind-boggling is how only the workings of a playwright's mind can turn the characters and themes of a cartoon into something more profound and fascinating enough for an audience to simply get.
