Robert Stanton News

Opening night isn't exactly going smoothly for the Off-Off Broadway production of Love Child, a modern adaptation of the infrequently performed Euripides drama Ion, presented at the Sausage King Space in Red Hook. A noisy audience member in the front row can't silence her cell phone and hearing aid, an actor has passed out on stage, an upstaging diva is trying to steal the show and a large grease stain on the floor makes each entrance and exit a death-defying experience. But on opening night of Love Child, Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton's two-man comedy presented by Primary Stages, everything was crackling with hilarious split-second precision.

Tickets are on general sale for the critically acclaimed Donmar Warehouse production of Friedrich Schiller's MARY STUART, starring Janet McTeer and Harriet Walter. The critically praised new version by Peter Oswald and directed by Phyllida Lloyd, will open Sunday, April 19 on Broadway at the Broadhurst Theatre (235 West 44th Street). Previews will begin on Monday, March 30.

TWO: SHAKES VERSUS SHAV, * In which Shaw and Shakespeare (and several of their literary characters) duke it out ! Who wins ? And 1/2: CYMBELINE REFINISHED, In which Shaw sends up the endlessly confusing final Shakespearean act of CYMBELINE, bringing us a speedy and happilly larkishish finale! (All 10+ characters will be played by the devilishly dexterous and felicitously flexible Daniel Jenkins and Robert Stanton !)
