The Gamm Theatre Announces 29th Season
Tony Estrella, artistic director of The Sandra Feinstein-Gamm Theatre (The Gamm), has announced the theater's 2013-2014 Season.
Season 29 starts boldly with GOOD PEOPLE, South Boston native David Lindsay-Abaire's Tony Award-nominated play illuminating the gap between rich and poor in today's America. Dan LeFranc's innovative 2012 off-Broadway hit THE BIG MEAL follows, tracing five generations of a typical American family as they live their lives - from first kiss to final goodbye - without ever leaving the dinner table! The pairing of Caryl Churchill one-acts, A NUMBER and FAR AWAY, ushers in the new year and puts a provocative science-fiction slant on a not-so-distant future. Next, The Gamm reunites with its signature playwright for what promises to be a gripping production of William Shakespeare's timeless MACBETH. The season concludes with David Harrower's controversial BLACKBIRD, a darling of the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival, as well as a West End and Off-Broadway hit, about the fallout from an illicit affair between a girl and a much older man.
"Past, present and future collide in our 2013-14 season," says Artistic Director Tony Estrella. "Taking our cue from our centerpiece Shakespeare production, Macbeth, we offer five plays that examine time as defined by the Scottish king himself: "all our yesterdays" to "this petty pace from day to day," then looking forward to "tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow." I am incredibly excited to return to Shakespeare after the hiatus that followed last season's hit production of Hamlet, and also to present the Rhode Island premiere of four varied and powerful contemporary works that have already excited audiences the world over.
Subscriptions to The Gamm's 2013-14 Season are $140-$240. Call 401-723-4266. Information at gammtheatre.org.
