THE NEARNESS OF LIGHTWhat if one brief meeting had been allowed to deepen?In this imagined encounter between Carl Sandburg and Marilyn Monroe, a playwright and poet moves beyond the historical record into a space of quiet possibility-where the brightness of public life gives way to something more searching, more exact: clarity.Set in the softening light of late afternoon, The Nearness of Light unfolds as a conversation about identity, perception, and the distance between who we are and how we are seen. As the dialogue deepens, the familiar image begins to loosen. Monroe emerges not as an icon, but as a mind-attentive, questioning, and inwardly alive. Sandburg listens without intrusion, making space for what might finally be said.What takes shape is not a reconstruction, but a quiet restoration: a movement from surface to interior, from performance to presence, from visibility to truth.Spare, lyrical, and contemplative, this is a work that invites the reader not simply to observe, but to enter the stillness where something real may be spoken-and, perhaps, truly heard. 6

       “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. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • 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...

A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
