This paper is broken down into 4 chapters detailing my goals to achieve a successful and relevant production for today’s audience. My rehearsal process was to inspire and guide all artists involved to act upon their creative impulses and to make this production a collaborative effort. Chapter 1 includes a biography of both playwrights, outlining their influences and a brief historical account ofhow The Idiots Karamazov evolved from an 8mm student film to a full-length professional production at Yale Repertory Theater. Chapter 2 provides a directorial analysis of the text and detailed methods and philosophies in directing from several well-known academics and theatre artists. Chapter 3 is a detailed journal chronicling the pre-production process including several e-mail correspondences with playwright, Christopher Durang. Also included in this chapter are several entries detailing early meetings with designers, daily accounts of the rehearsal process, production meetings, and fmally a description of three performances I attended during the run.

  • Durang, Christopher (B. 1949) by Brandon Hayes
    Durang, Christopher (b. 1949) by Brandon Hayes Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2005, glbtq, inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Christopher Durang is an openly gay playwright, screenwriter, and actor whose works have been produced on and off-Broadway and regionally since the late 1970s. A fiercely satirical comic dramatist, Durang often incorporates gay themes and gay characters in his plays. Durang was born on January 2, 1949 in Montclair, New Jersey. He attended Harvard, where he earned a B.A. in English in 1971, and the Yale School of Drama, from which he received an M.F.A in Playwriting in 1974. At Yale he collaborated on several projects with fellow students Albert Innaurato, Wendy Wasserstein, Meryl Streep, and Sigourney Weaver. In 1976, Durang's musical revue A History of the American Film, for which he wrote both lyrics and music, won a spot at the national Eugene O'Neill Playwriting Conference and was presented in Hartford, Los Angeles, and Washington. The next year it was produced on Broadway, earning Durang a nomination for a Tony Award for Best Book of a Musical. In 1979, Durang and Sigourney Weaver presented Das Lusitania Songspiel, a parody of contemporary Broadway musicals performed in the style of a Brecht-Weill cabaret. Durang and Weaver both received Drama Desk nominations for their performances. Durang's breakthrough in achieving critical and financial success came in 1981 with the Off-Broadway production of his scathing one-act play, Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You (written in 1979), which has over the years become a popular vehicle for actresses as diverse as Nancy Marchand, Cloris Leachman, Lynn Redgrave, and many others.

  • Vanya and Sonya and Mash and Spike: the Study Guide
    Vanya and Sonya and Mash and Spike: The Study Guide Meet the Playwright Christopher Durang, a playwright and actor, is a published writer who typically crafts comedies – satire, dark comedy, parody, or absurdist. The Idiots of Karamazov, co-authored with Yale classmate Albert Innaurato, was his first professional production at the Yale Repertory Theatre and featured then student Meryl Streep. Next, in 1975, his play The Nature and Purpose of the Universe was presented off-off Broadway at the Direct Theatre. A History of the American Film was a play that was produced by the Eugene O’Neill National Playwriting Conference in 1976, and then had three back-to-back productions at the Hartford Stage Company, Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, and Arena Stage in Washington D.C. Following this “triple premiere” it moved to Broadway and earned Durang a Tony nomination for Best Book of a Musical. In 1979, Durang and Sigourney Weaver rewrote Das Lusitania Songspiel, which became a cult success that satirized the work of Brecht and Weill with mishmashes of current shows. The musical garnered both Durang and Weaver Drama Desk nominations for Best Performer in a Musical. Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You was another success. Despite a rough start in raising money to move it to a commercial production, Andre Bishop re-presented the play and garnered favor from critics, moving the play to Off-Broadway for a run lasting over two years. He soon had several more plays published and performed, including Beyond Therapy (1981), Baby With The Bathwater (1983), The Marriage of Bette and Boo (1985).

Vanya and Sonia stayed home to take care of the ailing parents while Masha became a famous movie star but not a respected actress. Or the grating voice. An aspiring actor. There's never a dull moment. Rehearsals will begin on Monday, March 13th with a read-through and will run Monday-Friday, with a technical rehearsal with all cast and crew scheduled for Saturday, April 15th due to Easter being on Sunday, April 16th. All in all, though, this is a fine production of a good play, and we few, we lucky few in New Mexico, can see it first, as it makes the rounds of the country's regional areas. Spike is bored, so he plays with his cell phone, causing Vanja to burst in anger. It's some of the best acting I've ever seen her do. Plosive Productions He acts the peacemaker between his two sisters. Star-struck and energetic in her enthusiasm. There were just a few moments when the stage came alive, mostly because of the brilliance of Chris Ralph as Vanja and Mary Ellis as Sonja. But maybe this really was the best non-musical show on Broadway last season. Various times and venues. They discuss their lives and loves, argue, and Masha threatens to sell the house.
