  • Summer Shakespeare, Outside and Urban

    Summer Shakespeare, Outside and Urban

    June 4, 2010 Summer Shakespeare, Outside and Urban By STEVEN McELROY Joseph Papp first presented free Shakespeare performances in Central Park more than 50 years ago. Today, like heat advisories and smelly subway stations, Shakespeare among the elements is intrinsic to summer in the city. While Papp‟s legacy — the Public Theater presentations at the Delacorte in Central Park — is the best known of the productions, there are myriad offerings from smaller companies, and some of them are already under way. For some purveyors of outdoor theater, the appeal lies partly in one of Papp‟s original goals, to bring Shakespeare to the people. Hip to Hip Theater Company, for example, performs in parks in Queens. “To these people the Delacorte might as well be in Montana,” said Jason Marr, the artistic director. “It appeals to my political sense that we are doing something in the community and for the community.” Several artistic directors said that when admission was free and audiences could wander in and out as they pleased, they were more likely to sample Shakespeare or other classical plays, even if they were unfamiliar. “It brings people in who would not go to see Shakespeare, no matter what level of education,” said Ted Minos, the artistic director of the Inwood Shakespeare Festival. Such settings can also enrich the Shakespeare experience. “Many of the plays have natural outdoor themes because they were all performed outdoors originally, and that‟s something not to forget,” said Stephen Burdman, the artistic director of New York Classical Theater. “Shakespeare‟s language is so nature-oriented, whether he‟s going on and on about fishing, which he does, or we learn about the Forest of Arden” in “As You Like It.” “You hear the frogs croaking and the crickets chirping,” Mr.

  • Andrei Serban's Hamlet

    Andrei Serban's Hamlet

    Patricia LENNOX Patricia Lennox ‘‘Romanian’’ Shakespeare on the New York Stage ,, ‘‘Romanian Shakespeare on the New York Stage: Andrei Serban’s Hamlet To search for reviews of European Shakespeare productions on the American stage is to be reminded that almost every Shakespeare performance seen in the US is the product of a director whose native language is English. With a couple of notable exceptions (Bergman, Strehler, Ninagawa) there are almost no reviews or press releases for non-English Shakespeare performances in the extensive files at the New York City’s Library for the Performing Arts.1 Although European Shakespeare productions seldom cross the Atlantic, fortunately their innovative ideas frequently do. American directors have been absorbing and recycling European influences in their Shakespeare productions for decades, but especially the eastern European work during the mid-twentieth century. Occasionally there is an even more direct influence – a European director will migrate to ,, New York for an extended ‘‘visit . When this happens, particularly when the visit gradually morphs into a long-term residence, usually due to a combination of financial success and political exile, the work that results raises questions about international creative boundaries and national identity. This is the case for Rumanian-born director Andrei Serban, who came to the US intending to stay for a couple of months, but who, thirty years later, is still there and a citizen. What makes his position unique is the continuing identification for over three decades of Serban as a Romanian director. This paper considers how this dual identity as Romanian/American may have been a factor in the ,, critical reception of Serban’s ‘‘disastrous 1999 production of Hamlet.

    Aquila Theatre's Mission Is to Make Classical Works

    Aquila Theatre’s mission is to make classical works accessible to the greatest number. A play becomes ‘classical’ because we recognize that after a time it transcends the original culture it was created for. It retains the power to provoke the central question of what it means to be human. As a company dedicated to the classics, we feel a responsibility to acknowledge and explore newfound classical works. Aquila was founded in London in 1991 by Peter Meineck. In 1997, Aquila became a US non-for-profit organization and is currently based in New York. Aquila’s programs include: PRODUCTIONS IN NEW YORK CITY: Aquila is a major part of New York's theatrical landscape, producing a regular season of plays. Aquila recently produced: The Trojan War: Our Warrior Chorus, based on the writings of Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides, Sophocles and reimagined through the experiences of modern day military veterans at Brooklyn Academy of Music; Romeo and Juliet, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Philoctetes at GK ArtsCenter in Brooklyn, a staged workshop production of A Female Philoctetes at BAM Fisher’s Hillman Studio as part of our YouStories program, Euripides’ Herakles at BAM, Shakespeare’s Macbeth at the GYM at Judson, Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, Pirandello’s Six Characters in Search of an Author, Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Ibsen’s An Enemy of the People at the Skirball Center for the Performing Arts at New York University, and Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 and Homer’s The Iliad: Book One Off-Broadway at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.
