Tuesday, 11 May 2010 Something more than rumorIt was a pleasure to see a capacity crowd at the CUNY
Graduate Center's Martin E. Segal Theatre Center last night for
Howard
Barker at the Segal Center. The audience included a number of
enthusiasts for Barker's work, and perhaps most remarkable was the
heterogeneity of this audience. Some of the most brilliant performers of
the Broadway, off- Credit where credit is due: the administration, staff and technical
crew of the Martin E. Segal Theatre Center (Dr. Frank Hentschker, Dr.
Daniel Gerould, Jan Stenzel, Ruth Wikler-Luker and our outstanding
technical director Boris, of course), without whom none of this would have
been possible; performers Wallace Acton, Robert Emmet Lunney, Jan Maxwell
and Rocco Sisto; director Jesse Berger; stage manager Cynthia Dillon;
director Richard Romagnoli and playwright Ken Urban; Concord Media and Dr.
Peter Hulton of the University of Exeter for providing the video portion
of the day; and, last but certainly not least, Victoria Wicks, Howard
Barker and David Ian Rabey for taking the time out of their extremely busy
schedules to join us here in the United States for this unique,
once- Those who are interested in purchasing Howard's books are advised to visit the Nietzsche Circle's bookstore at Amazon Associates, where you'll find a full selection of his theory, plays and poetry; buying them through this bookstore, you'll also be doing a small part to support the Circle's publication Hyperion, which this month includes a special section on the dramatist's work. David Ian Rabey's Howard Barker: Politics and Desire and Howard Barker: Ecstasy and Death are indispensible to a full understanding of the Barkerian project. Onward, ever upward. Thanks to all of you, once again. Posted in /Dramatists/Howard_Barker |
