THEATER Star power ‘Salome’ brings Pacino, Tomei, Wiest to St. Ann’s in DUMBO By Lisa J. Curtis The Brooklyn Papers

t. Ann’s Warehouse in DUMBO is quickly gaining a rep- utation as the place to go for celebrities looking to ex- Splore their avant-garde side. On Tuesday night, a reading of Oscar Wilde’s “Salome” — starring Academy Award-winners Al Pacino, Marisa Tomei and Dianne Wiest — attracted a sold-out audience, which began queuing up an hour before showtime. This show follows Febru- ary’s “Too You, The Birdie (Phedre),” also at St. Ann’s Ware- house, which starred Willem Dafoe and Frances McDormand. 1 Directed by Estelle Parsons and developed at the Actors Stu- dio, the limited run of “Salome” readings will continue through Dec. 22. On opening night, the irrepressible actors truly did read from scripts, but frequently broke away from the pages. “They are inhabiting their characters now. They are really be- ginning to be those people,” commented Parsons, who is popu- larly known for her years as Roseanne’s mother, Beverly Harris, on the hit television series “Roseanne,” not to mention five 2 decades of work in stage, film and screen including her portrayal of Blanche Barrow in 1967’s “Bonnie and Clyde,” and Queen Margaret — and herself — in Pacino’s “Looking for Richard” Easy (1996). She is currently the artistic director of the Actors Studio. Parsons told GO Brooklyn that she and Pacino began collaborat- ing on “Salome” two years ago. She called it “a labor of love.” “When people are available — that’s the basis of our operation — we jump up and do it,” said Par- sons. The right space also has to be pitch available. “It’s a strange work, and Al / Aaron Harris / Aaron thought it would be nice to not do a New York run,” said Parsons.
