The Cameri Theatre of Tel Aviv, the largest and most renowned theater company in Israel, brings their production of RETURN TO HAIFA, based on Palestinian author Ghassan Kanafani's beloved novella of the same name and adapted by Israeli playwright Boaz Gaon, to Theater J this January. RETURN TO HAIFA tells the heart-rending saga of Sa'id and Saffiyeh, who return to the home they fled during the conflict preceding Israel's War of Independence, and learn the fate of the baby they left behind.
Today, the first exhibition to chronicle the career of Tennessee Williams with drawings by legendary artist Al Hirschfeld opens in the French Quarter. On view at The Historic New Orleans Collection's Williams Research Center, 410 Chartres St., 'Drawn to Life: Al Hirschfeld and the Theater of Tennessee Williams' features 125 items, including 50 drawings by the self-described 'characterist' and 75 items from The Collection's permanent holdings relating to the great American playwright.
I'll resist the temptation to call director Paul Alexander's Off-Broadway mounting of Dracula anemic or toothless, but will note his remarkable achievement of assembling a production that manages to be aggressively bad in so many ways and yet never achieves the 'you gotta see how bad this is' status. Though plagued by inept acting, questionable character choices, cheap-looking (and sounding) effects and a glacial pace, the evening is too dull to be enjoyed on any level.
