Elwood Lucien is a young West Indian artist who lives within bicycle-riding distance of The Blue Basin - a site that becomes both the prophetic beginning of his art and the poetic end to his youth. After falling in love with the world of art as a child, he finally garners international attention. It seems, however, thatElwood is not made for fame; he is disgusted by the false adoration and insincerity of society people and shies from their attention.After years spent alone, wandering from one tumultuous relationshipto the next, Elwood meets Fauna on a beach. She is beautiful anddifferent from all the women of his past and they experience animmediate connection. Her family too welcomes Elwood with openarms and it seems he has finally found what he has been searching for all his life; a home and a sense of purpose to his art. With Fauna at his side, Elwood now begins his new life with greaterpromise and resolve. However, the past too arrives through old loversand unpaid debts, and he realizes the irony of success that haunts eachgreat artist: the greater the art, the greater the price one must pay.

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife.

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...
