theatre KAPOW announces 2010-2011 season
theatre KAPOW will present a third season of world-class and award-winning dramatic literature in 2010-2011.
The season kicks off with one of theatre's most irresistible heroines, Hedda Gabler by Henrik Ibsen, September 10 & 11. Ibsen’s great social drama is an important modern tragedy of an educated woman who can find no outlet in her society for her talents and has become warped by the restrictions placed upon her. Returning from her honeymoon and already bored with her marriage, Hedda finds herself caught between the brilliant but dissolute Eilert Lovborg and the clutches of the predatory Judge Brack. Hedda sets out on a shocking path of destruction that affects the lives of everyone around her.
tKAPOW will warm up the winter in February with The White Liars and Black Comedy, two short comedies by Tony Award-winning Peter Shaffer. In the first, Sophie Lemberg is a fortune teller and a baroness of the Holy Roman Empire - or is she? This third-rate eccentric and disillusioned German fortune teller in a third-rate English seaside resort is visited by the lead singer of a rock band and his business manager. Things are not what they seem to be, and their lives turn out to be much stranger than the fiction Sophie tries to create in her magic ball. In Black Comedy, lovesick and desperate young sculptor Brindsley Miller has embellished his apartment with furniture and objects d’arte, borrowed from the absent antique collector next door - hoping to impress both his fiancee’s pompous father and a wealthy art dealer who just might buy his sculptures. When the neighbor unexpectedly returns just as a blown fuse plunges the apartment into darkness, Brindsley is revealed teetering on the verge of very ripe farce.
An American tragedy, ’night, Mother by Marsha Norman closes the season in May 2011. A powerful drama, ’night, Mother is the story of Jessie, a depressed woman planning to commit suicide, and her mother, Thelma, who attempts to bring her daughter back from the brink. This eloquent, enthralling and ultimately shattering play explores the final hour in the life of a young woman who has decided that life is no longer worth living.’night, Mother was the winner of the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and the original Broadway production was nominated for 4 Tony Awards.
tKAPOW will continue to present original works on literary greats with the November premier of My Neighbor, The Poet by New Hampshire playwright Don Tongue. The play centers on American poet Robert Frost, and the years he lived in Derry, New Hampshire and taught at Pinkerton Academy.
