Beowulf play puts queen in fictional love triangle

Beowulf play puts queen in fictional love triangle:




Marie Antoinette's life wasn't an easy one. The queen of France was pretty much hated by the French people, had a meddling mother, was often blamed for the French Revolution, and met up with the guillotine in 1793.
Heck, who'd blame her if she became embroiled in a love triangle?
It's a scenario that playwright Joel Gross has imagined in "Marie Antoinette: The Color of Flesh," which Beowulf Alley Theatre opens Friday.

"GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS" HAS GUSTO

By Chuck Graham, TucsonStage.com

There’s still plenty of meat on the bones of this 1983 play by David Mamet, given a driven production by Susan Arnold at the downtown Beowulf Alley Theatre.
As director she is especially successful at getting the erratic Mamet-speak rhythms down so they sound like the actual conversation of men drowning in their own stress.
Particularly good is the scene where con artist/salesman Dave Moss (Michael Fenlason) sucks his co-worker into being an unwilling co-conspirator who will steal the valued list of customer leads from the office safe.
Bill Epstein as the once-sensational but now desperate salesman Shelly “The Machine” Levene sets the right tone in his opening confrontation with John the office manager (Michael “Miko” Gifford).
Add to them the office smoothie Richard Roma (Clark Ray), a couple of other empty-souled salesmen played by Tony Caprile and Jim Ambrosek and we know exactly where we are -- swimming with the piranhas in a shark tank.
This is definitely not a country for old men, and nobody knows that better than Shelly. He gets our sympathy as we watch the oily Roma now at the top of his game edging closer to that slippery slope himself.
Strong enough to provide the counterpoint of lawful order is scowling Mark Klugheit as Baylen the detective questioning the entire sales staff after those hot leads actually are stolen.
There isn’t really a plot to “Glengarry Glen Ross” so much as there are observations on the wolfpack mentality of men working in offices. Quite often, as in the case of these six guys, they are brought together purely by coincidence.
At this level of commerce, a salesman’s loyalty to his product is no deeper than his commission -- no commission, no loyalty. Gifford gives an excellent reading of this “loyalty” in his performance.
If you haven’t been to Beowulf Alley in awhile, now is the time to return. “Glengarry Glen Ross” is the strongest production this company has staged in more than a year.
Performances continue through Nov. 18 at Beowulf Alley Theatre,  11 S. Sixth Ave., 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2:30 p.m. Sundays. Tickets are $20 general admission, $18 seniors, teachers and military, $8 students. For details and reservations, 520-882-0555, or visit www.beowulfalley.org

'Glengarry' retains power of desperation


This production, directed with a swiftness and understanding by Susan Arnold, firmly puts the struggling Beowulf back on the road to success after a few years of artistic decline.




















Bill Epstein, left, captures Levene's deep fear of failure and Clark Ryan as smooth-talking Roma oozes oily charm in Beowulf Alley's production of "Glengarry Glen Ross." The David Mamet play speaks to today just as it did to the '80s.

Clark Andreas Ray's smooth-talking Romo was so slick you wanted to bathe after spending time with him. His scene with a weak-spined customer (a finely cast Jim Ambrosek) gave us a glimpse into the desperation-knows-no-ethics mind-set.
Bill Epstein captured the musicality of Mamet's language, and the character's deep fear of failure. He and Michael "Miko" Gifford as the unfeeling and emotionally removed boss Tony set the tone of anger and heartlessness that is pervasive throughout the 90-minute play.
Michael Fenlason's take as the manipulative Moss, a salesman anxious to have someone steal the leads and sell them to a competitor, hit all the right notes.
Filling out the cast and their characters were Tony Caprile as Aaronow, a salesman with little confidence and a world-weary soul, and Mark Klugheit in a small part as a no-nonsense detective trying to solve the crime of the office break-in.

READING OF DUSTIN LANCE BLACK’S NEW PLAY “8”

BEOWULF ALLEY THEATRE COMPANYANNOUNCES READING OF DUSTIN LANCE BLACK'S NEW PLAY "8"

Beowulf Alley Theatre Company Joins Nationwide Productions of Landmark Marriage Equality Play by Academy Award-Winning Screenwriter of Milk & J. Edgar 

 

Beowulf Alley Theatre Company, with license from the American Foundation for Equal Rights (AFER) and Broadway Impact, is proud to announce a one-night-only reading of "8," a play chronicling the historic trial in the federal constitutional challenge to California's Proposition 8, written by Academy Award-winning screenwriter and AFER Founding Board Member Dustin Lance Black.

 

"8" is an unprecedented account of the Federal District Court trial in Perry v. Schwarzenegger (now Perry v. Brown), the case filed by AFER to overturn Proposition 8, which stripped gay and lesbian Californians of the fundamental freedom to marry.

Black, who penned the Academy Award-winning feature film Milk and the film J. Edgar, based "8" on the actual words of the trial transcripts, first-hand observations of the courtroom drama and interviews with the plaintiffs and their families.  

 

The performance of "8" is Thursday, November 8th at 7:30PM. Tickets are $20 and available at beowulfalley.org. We do recommend purchasing tickets in advance as this one-night only presentation will likely sell out. Interpreters for the deaf will be provided as well, please specify in your reservation if you need special seating for interpretation services. A talk-back with members of the community and cast will follow the reading. 

 

This staged reading is directed by Eugenia Woods.

 

"8" had its much-heralded Broadway world premiere on September 19, 2011, at the sold-out Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York City.  The production brought in over $1 million to support AFER's efforts to achieve full federal marriage equality.  

 

 

"8" had its West Coast premiere reading at the Wilshire EbellTheatre on Saturday, March 3, 2012, in Los Angeles. The West Coast premiere reading of "8" featured an all-star cast led by Golden Globe Award-winner and Academy and Emmy Award-nominee Brad Pitt as United States District Chief Judge Vaughn R. Walker; and Academy and Golden Globe Award-winner and Emmy Award-nominee George Clooney and Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winner Martin Sheen as Plaintiffs' lead co-counsel David Boies and Theodore B. Olson. The benefit reading was directed by AFER Founding Board Member Rob Reiner, and raised more than $2 million for the fight to secure full federal marriage equality.

 

"People need to witness what happened in the Proposition 8 trial, if for no other reason than to see inequality and discrimination unequivocally rejected in a court of law where truth and facts matter," said AFER Founding Board Member Dustin Lance Black.  "The goal of '8' is to show the world that marriage equality is a basic constitutional right. The facts are on our side and truth always finds the light.  AFER and Broadway Impact are doing all we can to help speed that process along." 

Throughout 2012, AFER and Broadway Impact are licensing"8" for free to colleges and community theatres nationwide in order to spur action, dialogue and understanding.  Most productions will be followed by a talkback where cast and audience members can discuss the issues presented in the Perry v. Schwarzenegger trial.  

 

"We felt this was a moral imperative. When Miko Gifford told me about the play and suggested we become involved, I couldn't say yes fast enough.  AFER and Broadway Impact are doing important work. It's an honor and privilege to help. This is an important issue of civil and human rights"

--Michael Fenlason, Artistic Director

 

The story for "8" is framed by the trial's historic closing arguments in June 2010, and features the best arguments and testimony from both sides.  Scenes include flashbacks to some of the more jaw-dropping moments of trial, such as the admission by the Proposition 8 supporters' star witness, DavidBlankenhorn, that "we would be more American on the day we permitted same-sex marriage than we were on the day before."

 

On February 7, 2012, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued a landmark decision upholding the historic August 2010 ruling of the Federal District Court that found Proposition 8 unconstitutional. The Ninth Circuit concluded:

 

"Proposition 8 serves no purpose, and has no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California, and to officially reclassify their relationships and families as inferior to those of opposite-sex couples. The Constitution simply does not allow for laws of this sort."

A treat for fans of Dorothy Sayer's fictional detective, Lord Peter Wimsey
Posted Aug 10, 2012,
Fans of Lord Peter Wimsey, the 1920’s version of Sherlock Holmes, have reason to rejoice in Beowulf Alley’s latest production, “The Body In The Bath.” Turning Dorothy Sayer’s 1923 novel, “Whose Body?” which introduced Wimsey, into a play will no doubt delight those aficionados.

Imagine this: You glide into your bathroom to brush your teeth. Instead, you discover a body in your bath. A naked one, wearing nothing but pince-nez, those nose-pinching glasses popular in the 19th century.
It's the mystery that grips Lord Peter Wimsey in Dorothy L. Sayers' first detective novel, "Whose Body?"
Tucson playwright/actress Joan O'Dwyer has given that novel its first adaptation, switching the title to "The Body in the Bath." It's on stage now at Beowulf Alley Theatre.

Play 'Hope' ponders ‘How bad is bad?’ | Beowulf Alley Theatre Company

Play 'Hope' ponders ‘How bad is bad?’ | Beowulf Alley Theatre Company:


Play 'Hope' ponders ‘How bad is bad?’
Despite political jabs, real story is about love
Posted Jul 26, 2012, 8:13 am
By: Dave Irwin, TucsonSentinel.com

“Hope,” the latest in Beowulf Alley Theatre Company’s summer series, is ostensibly about a man considering becoming his party’s nominee for Congress. Locked in a hotel room, he reviews his life not to see if he is good enough for national leadership, but to assure the party and himself that he’s not irredeemably bad.
Director Michael Fenlason keeps the pace as fast as can be allowed in a narrative that constantly moves back and forth in time. He uses side entrances and lighting to suggest Joe’s dream states and introduce the skeletons rattling around inside his mind.

… “Hope” is worth the effort required to get to the theatre’s downtown location during the construction and experience it for oneself during its brief run.

O’Neill fragment is with seeing—especially with student discounts

Evan Engle as Ned, gives an idealized performance as O’Neill would probably like to have seen himself: square jawed, ruggedly handsome, too tough to die and too strong to be denied.

Ken Beider gives a heart wrenching performance as down-and-out Jimmy. Having recently returned to the stage after an eight-year absence (in Beowulf’s “Sins of the Mother”), Beider’s physicality embodies a man who is slowly collapsing in on himself, day by day, drink by drink.

O'Neill's 'Exorcism' gives a glimpse at playwright's early, dark brilliance

A Eugene O'Neill play is never light fare, but it is almost always illuminating.
And Beowulf Alley Theatre is turning on the O'Neill road less taken over the next few weeks with its staging of "Exorcism."
The one-act, one of O'Neill's first plays, was discovered just last year, more than 90 years after the playwright penned it.
O'Neill's 'Exorcism' gives a glimpse at playwright's early, dark brilliance
From left, David Swisher, Evan Engle, Michael Fenlason and Ken Beider are in the cast of Beowulf Alley's "Exorcism." The play was discovered just last year.

Maybe he wanted it lost - it's the story of his attempted suicide, and, like most of O'Neill's plays, it puts him and his family in a questionable light.
The play was produced in 1920, but shortly after that O'Neill was said to have destroyed all copies. Ostensibly, he did it to please his father.
It isn't quintessential O'Neill - look to "The Iceman Cometh" and "Long Day's Journey Into Night" for that. But it is O'Neill, for goodness sake. A glimpse of his dark and stirring brilliance before it was in full bloom surely marks "Exorcism."
Performances are 7:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays through July 13, with one matinee at 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Beowulf Alley Theatre, 11 S. Sixth Ave. Tickets are $15, with discounts available.

Beowulf Alley Theatre presents Eugene O'Neill's Lost Play, "Exorcism"

Beowulf Alley Theatre Company

Presents

 

 

Eugene O’Neill’s Lost Play

Exorcism

 

Beowulf Alley Theatre presents Exorcism by Eugene O’Neill Friday and Saturday, July 6th, 7th , 13th and 14th at 7:30 PM and Sunday July 8th at 2:30 PM at Beowulf Alley Theatre, 11 S. 6th Avenue in downtown Tucson. Tickets are $15. $12 for seniors, military and teachers. Our student price is only $8.

Recently rediscovered, this autobiographical one-act was buried by O’Neill. The play was performed by the Provincetown Players in 1920 for about two weeks and then quickly withdrawn. It is speculated that O’Neill was too uncomfortable with such an honest portrait of himself and his father. Exorcism is about a troubled young man and his difficult relationship with his family. It is something of a palimpsest for Long Days Journey Into Night, as the main character Ned is reminiscent to Jamie Tyrone.

Starring Evan Engle as Ned, Ken Bieder as Jimmy, David Swisher as Major, Mark Klugheit as Malloy and Michael Fenlason as Nordstrom.

This production will run Friday and Saturday, July 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th at 7:30PM and Sunday July 8th at 2:30PM.

Tickets run $8-$15 and can be purchased online, over the phone or at the door. Reservations and purchases can be made are 520-885-0555

For more information, contact Michael Fenlason at Beowulf Alley Theatre, theatre@beowulfalley.org, 520 882 0555.

Hope

by Jem Street

 

Directed by Michael Fenlason


Hope is a new play and part of her graces trilogy that includes Faith and Love. Street’s work meditates on American life in the first part of the new millennium with humor, candor and a sense of history. Hope is the story of Joe Chandler, a Tennessee businessman being courted to run for the U.S. House of Representatives. Chandler must look back over his life and determine if he has “been a good enough man to be a politician.” In flashback his history with romantic relationships, a stormy relationship with his racist father, and all that he has been must be seen through this ironic prism.

This is a full-length play and the performance dates are Friday and Saturday July 20th, 21st, 27th, and 28th at 7:30 PM and Sunday July 22nd at 2:30 PM.

Tickets are available online, over the phone or at the door.

The Body in the Bath

an adaption by Joan O’Dwyer

 

This play, adapted from Dorothy Sayers' first American printing of "Whose Body," takes place after World War I in England. Lord Peter is rich, intelligent, circumspect and genteel, but, dash it all, so very loveable. When he pairs up with Inspector Parker of Scotland Yard -- and is further aided by his trusty servant, Bunter -- the mystery of the naked body in the bath (wearing only pince nez, mind you!) is certain to be solved.

This Lord Peter Whimsy adaption will run August 3-18th, Fridays & Saturdays at 7:30pm and Sundays at 2:30pm. Note: No Sunday Performance August 19th.
