COMEDY BALLET Written and Directed by Martin Schwartz, presented by
Dark Porch Theatre. Inspired By Court Entertainments of the Sun King,
Best of Fringe Winner Martin Schwartz Directs 'Outrageously Newfangled'
Artistic Feast of Drama, Dance, Music, and Painting The latest from DPT (Cockroach, The In Betweens, Under the Bed),
Comedy Ballet follows KC (John Russell), a hapless wine clerk, as
he is pursued by a homeless actor-painter (Best of Fringe Acting Award-winner
Nathan Tucker) who may or may not be sleeping in the stacks; an inscrutable
beauty (Molly Benson) who may or may not want to take him home; and a trio
of feverishly grieving gangsters who may or may not want to ritually sacrifice
him. Punctuated by Fairchild's daring modern choreography and set to Derek
Phillips' dazzling original elecroacoustic score, the play unfolds under
the aegis of two 4' x 8' paintings created by Russian-American artist Mikhail
Poloskin. Written and Directed by Martin Schwartz, Produced and Choreographed by
Margery Fairchild, Featuring John Russell, Molly Benson, Nathan Tucker,
Wylie Herman, Amy Seimetz, Anjeli Jana, Matthew von MeeZee, and Bryce Charley. |

A MOST NOTORIOUS WOMAN by Maggie Cronin featuring Christina Augello To Be Scheduled. This one-woman show by Maggie Cronin is based on the exploits of the 16th century Gaelic pirate queen Grace "Grania" O'Malley and features Christina Augello as the woman who defied tradition to become a feminist icon. "Cut-throat pirate...hard-nosed businesswoman...barbarian...symbol of national defiance...woman in love...romantic heroine..." all are revealed in this "absorbing and multi-layered portrait of a most bewitching and infuriating historical figure". Grania's fervent love of the sea and her passion for adventure drove most to say she had indeed "impudently stepped o'er her bounds of womanhood." As tribal chieftan, her fierce loyalty, to an Ireland soon to be lost forever, caused the English to fear her and Elizabeth I to confront her. Well into her 70's she continued to courageously lead and aid the Irish rebellions against the English invaders. "Entertaining and thought-provoking", Ms. Cronin's solo script captures the very texture of the woman, the time and the country. |
