Reading for the first time in memory of the Czech-English playwright, who died Saturday.
Maybe there are people who can visit the Drama Book Shop and walk away without making a purchase, but I wouldn't know anything about that! New reads alongside a week's worth of Playbills; nothing like a solid theatre trip! #SeeMoreTheatre
pickThorough, thoughtful, but also thrilling, this cultural history of Fiddler on the Roof explores the hit musical from book to Broadway to film and far beyond, from its beginning in Sholem Aleichem‘s stories and their many incarnations, through the complexities of Jewish identity across a century of history, finding its legacy in powerful interpretations across the world: Japan, Poland, a Black Brooklyn middle school amid integration, and more.
I would love to see this performed live! (because I'm not really a fan of reading plays...)
pickThirty Years War (1618-1648):Mother Courage,a shrewd woman travelling through Poland,Italy and Germany with her canteen business contained in a cart,struggles to keep herself and her 3 children alive.She needs the war to survive-mainly making business with the troops but the war kills everyone she loves.At the end of the play, she is the only survivor, yet still follows the army caravan with her cart. War has no meaning and teaches us nothing.
