I had the good fortune of directing this piece several years ago at John Carroll University and I know that all who participate will be moved by the power, the beauty and what Sondhiem and Lapine have to say about art and love. I am thrilled to be working on this piece again with professional actors. It is a piece that has haunted me as an artist and as a human being. . . I hope that it will haunt you.
THE PLAY:
Inspired by the art of Georges Seurat, the nineteenth-century pointilliste painter, specifically a painting entitled "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte". The first act takes place in Paris, France in the 1870's; primarily on the island of La Grande Jette. George seeks to create a work of art incorporating order, design, symmetry, balance and harmony. Unfortunately, burying oneself in one's work can often cause certain unforeseen repercussions.
In Act Two, we jump to 1984 where another George, the grandson of the aforementioned George Seraut, has been commissioned to create a piece of mechanical performance art to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his great-grandfather's painting. This present-day George, however, is at a creative impasse.
Sunday in the Park With George was originally staged as a Playwrights Horizons workshop production in July of 1983. It then opened at the Booth Theatre on May 2, 1984, with a cast that featured Mandy Patinkin (George) and Bernadette Peters (Dot/Marie). This production ran for 604 performances and went on to win Sondheim and Lapine the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
