after Mozart, Molière, and Beaumarchais
Our friends at Theatre de la Jeune Lune (Carmen, The Miser, Amerika) have created a unique pair of productions that combine the beauty of Mozart with the brilliance of two of France’s greatest comic writers.
Don Juan Giovanni joins Don Giovanni with Molière’s Don Juan to form a cross-country road trip that skewers notions of love, sex, and hypocrisy; Figaro unites Mozart’s sublime Marriage of Figaro with Beaumarchais’ revolutionary comedy of intrigue and seduction.
The productions are performed in repertory on one set, with a chamber ensemble accompanying a cast of actors and opera singers that includes Stephen Epp (Harpagon in The Miser) and the principals from Carmen. An outstanding theatrical event, not to be missed!
In repertory September 1 - October 6, 2007 – Loeb Stage - SUBSCRIBE NOW
“In its singing and beauty, in its provocative stage pictures and erstwhile stand-up comedy, the production leaves you grasping for superlatives. It is a wondrous work.” — Minneapolis Star Tribune on Don Juan Giovanni
Produced in association with the Loeb Drama Center.
During the presidential election of 1988, Donnie Darko, a troubled teenager, encounters a six-foot rabbit named Frank, who tells him the world will end in 28 days, 6 hours, 42 minutes, and 12 seconds. Donnie returns home to discover that a jet engine has crashed through his bedroom – and so begins one of the strangest and most haunting stories ever told.
A new adaptation of the 2001 cult film (which featured Drew Barrymore and shot Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal to fame), Donnie Darko is a mind-bending work of science fiction with a rollercoaster plot that leaps from metaphysics to time travel. Marcus Stern, director of The Onion Cellar returns to Zero Arrow Theatre to create this stage version of one of the most talked-about films of the past decade.
October 27 - November 18, 2007 – Zero Arrow Theatre
In 1941 the German physicist Werner Heisenberg traveled to Copenhagen to meet his Danish counterpart, Niels Bohr. Old friends and colleagues, now they found themselves on opposite sides in a world war, and embroiled in a race to create the atom bomb. Why Heisenberg went to Copenhagen, and what he wanted to say to Bohr, are questions that have intrigued and divided historians and scientists ever since. Michael Frayn’s play about their historic meeting has become a classic of modern drama – a meditation on friendship and moral responsibility, by turns intellectually dazzling and deeply moving, that journeys through the realm of science and beyond. Featuring Will LeBow, Karen MacDonald, and John Kuntz.
