Cesear’s Forum captivates with confessional one-acts, ‘Plath and Orion’

Now playing in the small performance space buried beneath the lobby of the grand Ohio Theatre at Playhouse Square are two one-act plays that don’t often get to see the light of day.



The first, “The Great Nebula in Orion,” is a fairly obscure piece that premiered in 1970 and was written by Pulitzer Prize winner and Off-Off-Broadway pioneer Lanford Wilson.  The other, “Plath, Sexton and the Art of Confession,” is receiving its world premiere and was written by Greg Cesear, the founder of Cesear’s Forum and host of this production. 



The plays’ lineage could not be more different and neither could their tone and temperament.  But as short-form confessionals that delve into the hearts and minds of the two women at each of their centers, these one-acts make for engaging companion pieces.  They offer plenty to chew on for the superb actors selected to bring them to the stage and for the patrons in the audience.
