James Platter accesses ancient scriptures of the prophets, picking through the mire of bloody early Christian history which encompasses several Church traditions (Catholic, Gnostic, Orthodox Christian, even Orthodox Jews who appear to rewrite their ancient history according to the Pharisees in Babylon) as shown in his new work of holy scripture entitled 'The Real Scriptures' of God. Obviously, it has been a daunting task to study the history of various portions of the Apocrypha or Antilegomena. Many Christian churches which grew out of their local lineages have had their own enriched-by-experience writings that were a clear testimony to the power of God to overcome evil. The Catholic Church was, at the start, the only one with enough strength and military manpower to call up the many councils that eventually fashioned what Platter knows to be the watered-down, depleted and much-edited Bible books that are known today. They even cursed those who looked at the old manuscripts they had not named as valid prophetic writings of scripture.

Renowned Oscar Wilde expert Alan Stanford, PICT's interim Producing Artistic Director, will direct his adaptation of the great Irish playwright's comedy, Lady Windermere's Fan. Wilde's play, first produced in 1892 in London, satirizes the morality of Victorian society. Stanford has moved the setting forward in time to 1947; in post-World-War II London, Wilde's language and ridicule of high-society still resonate. Oscar Wilde was not so much a writer of polite English comedy, but rather a biting Irish satirist who lampooned the social absurdities and prejudices of the English upper classes, prejudices that lasted well into the Twentieth Century. This production, which runs July 11 through July 27, is PICT's third show of the season, and features a cast of 17 actors.
