THE SAINTLINESS OF MARGERY KEMPE

|

Previews begin July 5th, 2018 at The Duke on 42nd Street

Tony Award winner, John Wulp writes of Margery Kempe, an English mystic who lived in the 1300’s. She fancied herself to be extraordinary, and she wanted the whole world to be aware of this fact. She first tried to make herself notorious by throwing her lot in with the Devil and buying a brewery. When this failed she decided to pursue an opposite tack and elected to become a saint instead. Although she had no real qualifications for the job, she worked at her new career diligently. Her quest for saintliness set her free from the sexual demands of her husband and the needs of her six children. She was free to roam the world performing bogus miracles. Eventually she even made a tour of The Holy Land.

From the author: “Margery Kempe is a universal figure. In her desire to give meaning to her life, she embodies the human condition. I see in her the material for comedy, but it is a loving comedy. Although I wrote the play more than sixty years ago, it is amazingly contemporary. In her refusal to let her life be defined by men, Margery Kempe is a uniquely modern woman. But if she is timely, she is also timeless. The discrepancy between ambition and ability has always been the stuff of comedy.”

ED DIXON – 2017 DRAMA DESK WINNER
OUTSTANDING SOLO PERFORMANCE

This roller-coaster of a show captured audiences in New York City and Washington like none other. Everyone was talking about this unique tour-de-force. Everyone was leaving the theatre in awe of what they had just witnessed. Everyone was speechless. Some reviews from the New York Production at The Loft at the Davenport Theatre:

“In recent years Ed Dixon—actor, writer, composer—has delivered two of the most wrenching literary stomach punches I’ve ever received: punch one with his autobiographical memoir, Secrets of a Life On Stage… and Off, which I read a few years ago, and punch two with his incandescent performance in his play Georgie, which just opened at The Loft at the Davenport Theater. In both cases, the punch was swift, unpredicted and straight to the gut.” Glen Roven – Huffington Post

“It has been said that theatre at its most basic is great storytelling. Georgie: My Adventures with George Rose is an exhilarating story, and indeed brilliantly told.” – BroadwayWorld

“… a first class ticket on a theatrical time machine ride. We get to sit at the feet of a great storyteller getting punch drunk on theatre memories. Brilliant text, astounding performance, astute direction – unforgettable evening.” – New York Theatre Guide

“Dixon is priceless….he holds you in his thrall for the entire 90-miniutes and proves not only a great interpreter of Rose’s life and work, but a worthy successor to his stage presence.  Oh, what a relief!” – Michael Musto – Out

“As the story progresses, the jovial, sunny performance he delivers begins to morph into a rigid and deeply sad one by the end. Director Eric Schaeffer guides this multifaceted performance into a beautifully appropriate balance of lightness and darkness. Yet even as such a horrible story comes to life before our eyes, it’s clear that no matter what, Dixon still respects his late mentor, even if his feelings now are weightier and more complicated than they were when the two first met. Georgie is a tribute to one of Broadway’s greats, while reminding us that everyone we see onstage has a story all their own.” – TheatreMania

“Hugely funny, and masterfully constructed.  For an actor, seeing this show is one of those times when you remember why you got involved in the first place.” – McPhillamyActoBlog

BEDLAM’s SENSE & SENSIBILITY

|

You’ve never seen Austen like this! Called the “greatest stage adaptation of this novel in history,” this rollicking, ingeniously-staged new adaptation follows the adventures (and misadventures) of the Dashwood sisters – sensible Elinor and hypersensitive Marianne – after their sudden loss of fortune.

Bursting with humor, emotion, and bold theatricality, ‘Sense and Sensibility’ asks: when reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?

“Blissfully delightful”
– Huffington Post

“Goofy, joyous and deeply moving”
– Daily News 

“Downton Abbey on roller skates….Go! Go! Go!”
– Philadelphia Inquirer

“It’s by far the smartest Jane Austen adaptation to come along
since Amy Heckerling’s Clueless, and at least as much fun.”
– Wall Street Journal

VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE

|

VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE,  by Christopher Durang, opened on Broadway at the Golden Theatre in March 2013. It received 6 Tony Award nominations and won the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. It also won every Best Play Award of the 2012-13 season, including the Drama Desk, Drama League, New York Critics, and Outer Critics Circle Awards. The production has subsequently been produced at major theaters throughout the U.S., with more than 70 productions licensed during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.

On the heels of its sold-out, smash-hit engagements at McCarter Theatre Center and Lincoln Center Theater, the Broadway production starred Tony and Academy Award nominee Sigourney Weaver, Tony and Emmy Award winner David Hyde Pierce, and Tony nominee Kristine Nielsen.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAID:

“Even if you’ve never read a word of Chekhov, you’re likely to find plenty to make you laugh: Mr. Hyde Pierce’s skillfully low-key comic discomfort; Ms. Nielsen’s segues from manic eruption into glazed smiling stupor; Ms. Weaver’s game sendup of every self-loving, self-doubting movie queen there ever was. – The New York Times

“The Funniest Show In Town … A master class in comedy with an emotional kick!” – Bloomberg

“Crackingly funny!” – AP

David Hyde Pierce is brilliant! Christopher Durang is up to mischief again!” – New York Post

“Blithely demented and original! …Six comic virtuosos have been directed with exquisite glee by Nicholas Martin.” – Newsday

“A vibrant comic ensemble!” – Time Out NY

“Irreverent and endearing and wacky and tender!” – USA Today

LEND ME A TENOR THE MUSICAL

|

Book and Lyrics by Peter Sham

Music by Brad Carroll

Choreography by Randy Skinner

Directed by Ian Talbot

 

 

Based on the award-winning West End and Broadway hit comedy by Ken Ludwig, Lend Me A Tenor The Musical is a musical play that sings and dances its way through a riotous, unpredictable explosion of mistaken identities and unexpected romance. Lead producers Martin Platt, David Elliott and Eileen and Allen Anes worked alongside Jason E. Grossman and M. Kilburg Reedy of Radio Mouse Entertainment.

Lend Me A Tenor The Musical’s hilarious story is set in Cleveland in 1934, where Tito Merelli, the world’s greatest tenor, has arrived to save the struggling local opera company by singing a benefit performance of Verdi’s Otello. When he is unexpectedly incapacitated, Max, the opera director’s meek assistant, is given the daunting task of finding a last minute replacement. Chaos ensues – including mistaken identities, slamming doors, a jealous wife, shrimp gone bad and the Cleveland Police department.

Lend Me A Tenor The Musical had its Olivier Award-nominated West End premiere at the Gielgud Theatre in London’s West End in June 2011.  The show earned four-and five-star notices and regular standing ovations from its delighted audiences.

From the London critics:

“A good-hearted show with real laughs” – The Times

“Far and away the most accomplished musical comedy opening in the West End this season” -The Stage

“Outstanding! I love this new musical comedy!” – The Independent

From the hit productions in Germany and Austria.

“WITTY, RACY, INGENIOUS: ‘Lend Me A Tenor – Otello May Not Explode Burst!’ celebrates a jubilant premier in the Musical Comedy Theater, Leipzig. A better comedy is hardly to be found today.  At least not in Germany.” – The Leipziger Volkszeitung:

SHYLOCK

SHYLOCK

Opened January 22nd, 2005 – March 27, 2005
by Gareth Armstrong

In a solo performance that was nominated for a 2004-2005 Outer Critics Circle Award, Gareth Armstrong lifted the veil from The Merchant of Venice. Putting the play both in the context of its own time and in the greater context of the history of the negative portrayal of the Jew both on stage and off, Armstrong delivered one of the most compelling performances of the season. Assuming the most unlikely role of Tubal, Shylocks’ best and only friend, SHYLOCK confronts and confounds the stereotypes of one of literatures most compelling characters and delivers a performance the Associated Press called: “nothing short of astounding.”

VARIETY:

“Armstrong’s performance invites empathy and awe . . . an actor of consummate craft.”

THE VILLAGE VOICE:

“. . . a taut exploration of Shylock’s legend and its legacy . . . Viewers disappointed by the current soggy, text butchered film adaptation of The Merchant of Venice are hereby urged to hie themselves to this stirring production, as is everyone else.”

ASSOCIATED PRESS:

“His ability to switch characters on the fly and perform multi-character scenes by himself is nothing short of astounding . . .

NY OBSERVER:

Gareth Armstrong’s virtuoso performance in his 80-minute Shylock—which he also wrote—is a marvelous exploration at the Perry Street Theater of the universally debated Jew . . . his actor’s instinctive understanding of the text has much of value to tell us. BACKSTAGE If you think you know Shylock from Shakespeare’s “The Merchant of Venice,” think again. This new solo show, written by and starring Gareth Armstrong, casts a comprehensive look at the controversial character in a behind-the-scenes style that is involving and insightful.
