Forward Back to Cinema

As the Chinese curse has it, we live in interesting times. In the arena, previously discreet performing arts species cross-fertilize, hybridize, and spawn strange new monsters.

 

To wit, two new installments from the happiness factory: a RADIO (podcast) conversation about THEATRE that draws its inspiration from FILM, and a VIDEO of a PLAY that draws its inspiration from RADIO & FILM serials and dime NOVELS.

 

In the first, a very special NYTHEATRECAST, I interview downtown scions Jon Stancato, Ian W. Hill and Jeff Lewonczyck about their respective cinematically inspired theatrical productions (The Accidental Patriot, The Magnificent Ambersons and Babylon Babylon, respectively). Audible at http://www.nyte.org/pcast/nythpod209.mp3 and descriptively encapsulated at: http://www.nytheatrecast.com/wordpress/archives/122.

In the second, a dear friend of mine named Trawets Sivart, a talented actor in his own right ( I think of him whenever I take a long, hard look at myself) portrays William Randolph Hearst in episode 5 of Third Lows’ production Penny Dreadful at a highly regarded Williamsburg Theatre that rhymes with “The Schmick”.

I respectfully lay these at your feet like so many Sweet Rolls for the Buddha

 

Remaining,

 

Yours in thought, word and deed,

Trav S.D.’s EZEKIEL’S WHEELCHAIR in London

London Friends, and Friends of Those in London:

This is an invitation to see and hear my first play to cross the Puddle. Grey Light Productions is presenting readings of my experimental play EZEKIEL’s WHEELCHAIR in their American Voices series on March 11, 14 & 22 at 7:30pm at the Greenwich Playhouse, Greenwich Station Forecourt, 189 Greenwich High Road, London.

In this Beckett-flavored one-act, two women obsess about the man in their life: a Stephen Hawking-like genius who has drained all color from the universe…
