Season 2004-05

Richard Jay Simon

Artistic Director

Season 2004-2005:

AMADEUS by Peter Shaffer
October 7 - 17 & October 28 - 31, 2004 The story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri are brought to life in Peter Shaffer’s classic Amadeus. The story of greed, lust, betrayl, intrigue, and jealousy will never be told this well in the history books. Peter Shaffer writes with a brewing darkness that draws the audience into the cold world Antonio Salieri creates for himself.

ART by Yasmina Reza
December 2 – December 19, 2004 This dazzling dark comedy received the Moliere Award for Best Play, Best Production and Best Author along with the Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy of the Year. Art concerns the friendship of three men: Serge, who buys a modern art painting which looks like a white canvas; Marc who can hardly believe his friend would waste money on such a lack of talent and taste an Yvan who finds himself caught between the two.

THE MEMORY OF WATER
By Shelagh Stephenson
January 6 – January 23, 2005 Winner of the 2000 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Comedy, this touching and hugely entertaining play is about three daughters who come together on the eve of their mother’s funeral. They can agree on almost nothing – including what it was really like growing up in the same house together. With wit and insight Stephenson explores how the truth shall set us free – or not.

BecauseHeCan by Arthur Kopit
March 31 – April 17, 2005 “Sizzling…dark comedy that becomes a horrifying cautionary tale… the play has a lethal feedback.”—The New York Times. Costa Astrakhan calls himself ISEEU, but you can’t see him. And if it’s you he wants, nothing can stop him. A cyber ride filled with suspense that propels an unsuspecting married couple into a world without secrets. It could happen to you!

The Pull of Negative Gravity
By Jonathan Lichtenstein
May 19 – June 5, 2005 Brothers Rhys and Dai toss a coin to decide which of them will stay home to run the failing family farm and which will join the army. A few months later, Dai returns home from Iraq. The cake is ready, the welcome home banner is hung, and his fiance - also loved by Rhys - is ready to greet him. But the man who comes back through the door is not the one who left.
