Shakespeare's tragedy, as staged by Theatre for a New Audience.
Closing Performance at TFNA: May 2, 2008
From the theatre:
Shakespeare's unforgettable study of mature lovers who sacrifice all for love is also a study in two cultures: the formality of Rome pitted against the sensuality of Egypt. Shot through with rich language and charged with a Chekhovian sense of regret, this is one of the crown jewels of the world's dramatic poetry.
(Director) Darko Tresnjak is the Artistic Director of the Old Globe Shakespeare Festival. For Theatre for a New Audience, Mr. Tresnjak staged All's Well that Ends Well (2006) and The Merchant of Venice (2007) with F. Murray Abraham.
You can read the play here.
What's Theatre for a New Audience?
TFANA is a long-running Off-Broadway theatre focused on forward-thinking productions of the Classics. Expect an evening not as avant-garde as something you might see at BAM or the sketchier corners of the East Village, but hardly a stodgy, musty Classical staging. More here.
