  • Shakespeare on Film, Video & Stage
    William Shakespeare on Film, Video and Stage Titles in bold red font with an asterisk (*) represent the crème de la crème – first choice titles in each category. These are the titles you’ll probably want to explore first. Titles in bold black font are the second- tier – outstanding films that are the next level of artistry and craftsmanship. Once you have experienced the top tier, these are where you should go next. They may not represent the highest achievement in each genre, but they are definitely a cut above the rest. Finally, the titles which are in a regular black font constitute the rest of the films within the genre. I would be the first to admit that some of these may actually be worthy of being “ranked” more highly, but it is a ridiculously subjective matter.

    Ethan McSweeny /Selected Press – Classics 01.18 “Ethan McSweeny seems to have a Midas touch. It’s not that the plays he directs turn into gold but they do sail across the footlights with a vibrant, magnetic sheen… The wunderkind director who made his Broadway debut before some directors finish graduate school, is earning plaudits for a flurry of new productions…Throughout his career, McSweeny has moved from classics to contemporary dramas to premieres with ease…His scrupulous attention to the melding of design, pacing, and performance and facility with which he presents them, feels crisp, vibrant, and cinematic.” Jaime Kleiman, American Theatre “McSweeny is revealing himself to be the kind of directorial prodigy we read about in biographies of such auteurs as Robert Wilson and Peter Sellers. Except that he does not impose a vision or conceit on a play; he amplifies themes in the work.” Rohan Preston, Minneapolis Star Tribune “McSweeny is not only one of our most successful theatre directors, but equally one of our most important, and for a man who zoomed a few years ago past 40, he continues to sport the aura of a modern Boy Wonder — an Orson Welles with much more in his future than commercials for Paul Masson … It’s not just that he is — as Peter Marks characterized him in his Washington Post review of The Tempest — a “classical imagist,” although he does possess that rare mixture of deep affinity for text and a fanciful eye. He has proven to be fluid in his choices, negotiating between the classical and the edgy-new.

  • Seana Mckenna to Star in Canadian Premiere of Joan Didion’S the Year of Magical Thinking
    NEWS RELEASE Monday, October 19, 2009 For immediate release SEANA MCKENNA TO STAR IN CANADIAN PREMIERE OF JOAN DIDION’S THE YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING "Remarkable. It will break your heart." The New York Times October 19, 2009 - Seana McKenna, one of this country’s finest actors, will star in the Canadian premiere of Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking at the Belfry Theatre from November 10 to December 13, 2009. Directed by Belfry Artistic Director Michael Shamata, The Year of Magical Thinking is based on Didion’s best selling memoir of the same name. In The Year of Magical Thinking, Didion, one of America’s great essayists and novelists, captures the compassion, humour and bewilderment of a fiercely intelligent woman whose world lurches suddenly from the ordinary to the unimaginable. This is Didion’s attempt to make sense of the “weeks and then months that cut loose any fixed idea I ever had about death, about illness . about marriage and children and memory . about the shallowness of sanity, about life itself.” Told with raw candour and a storyteller’s gift for the absurd, this magnificently written meditation on grief – ‘a place none of us know until we reach it’ – is also a celebration of family, filled with a luminous belief in the power of the human spirit to overcome heartbreak and to endure. Joan Didion Joan Didion was born in Sacramento, California. In 1964, she married John Gregory Dunne, an aspiring novelist who was writing for Time magazine. The couple moved to Los Angeles with the intention of staying six months and ended up making their home there for the next 20 years.
