Kennelly Review of Glengarry Glen Ross at the Beck Center
by Laura Kennelly 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

Watching the characters con, lie and trick each other in the Beck Center’s *Glengarry Glen Ross* reminded me of the truth embedded in Shakespeare’s catchy phrase about lust: “an expanse of spirit in a waste of shame.” David Mamet’s Pulitzer Prize-winning (1984) work portrays a toxic blend of lust (for money), vanity and a “mine is bigger than yours” business culture. It offers a perfect illustration of the myriad ways humans can betray each other. Bummer. Full review at https://coolcleveland.com/2019/09/theater-review-glengarry-glen-ross-beck-c…

Final weekend! Shakespeare's R&J at convergence-continuum
by convergence-continuum 17 Sep '19

17 Sep '19

FINAL WEEKEND! _SHAKESPEARE’S R&J_ A WILD AND UNRESTRAINED ADAPTATION BY JOE CALARCO NOW AT CONVERGENCE-CONTINUUM “Hot-blooded ... Wrenching ... pulsates with an adolescent abandon and electricity of which Romeo himself might approve” -The New York Times “A superb adaptation that will open your eyes and ears to the piece as if you were experiencing it with unjaded wonder for the first time.” -The Independent (London) In a repressive Catholic boys' boarding school, four students discover the forbidden text of Shakespeare’s play _Romeo and Juliet _and secretly enact the play, taking turns reading the play aloud. The words and story are thrilling to the boys, and they become swept away in an athletic deluge of adolescent agitation, anxiety, and fierce desires that parallel their own lives. Although they had been taking turns playing all the parts, two of the boys eventually emerge playing Romeo and Juliet exclusively, bringing a whole new dimension to the proceedings. _Shakespeare’s R&J _is directed by convergence-continuum’s Executive Director Cory Molner. Members of the cast are Zach Palumbo, Michael Emery Fox, Joe Soriano and John P. Cox. _Shakespeare’s R&J _ has its final three performances this Thu-Sat at 8 p.m. at con-con’s Liminis Theater, 2438 Scranton Rd., Cleveland 44113 in the historic Tremont neighborhood. Fri and Sat tickets are $20 general admission, $15 for seniors and $10 for students. Thurs tickets are $15 gen. admission, $12 seniors and $8 students. Tickets and information are available at convergence-continuum.org [1] and 216-687-0074. ------------------------------- Convergence-continuum’s production of _Shakespeare’s R&J _is supported in part by the residents of Cuyahoga County through a public grant from Cuyahoga Arts & Culture.

17 Sep '19

Playwrights Local Presents A Free Staged Reading *TRIBUNAL* *Written by Mark Milo KesslerDirected by Christine McBurney* *Wednesday, September 18 at 7:00 pm* Free with no tickets or reservations required Open to the public | Recommended for adults & teens http://www.playwrightslocal.org/fall-roundtable-series-2019/ *Synopsis:* Following his combat service in World War II, lawyer Richard Parkman joins the prosecution team at the Nuremberg Trial. Melanie Ferguson, a hard-edged war correspondent, drags refugee and linguist Arthur Borovitz to Parkman because she knows the Tribunal is desperate for translators. When Dr. Hannelore Schneider tries to rob him one night, Arthur offers her a job helping him translate documents. Hannelore is a devout Nazi, but she is also an intellectual. Parkman, increasingly desperate to understand how such cultured people could commit such horrible acts, summons her for interrogation. The experience leaves him with a crushing responsibility, including a secret that propels him into a future that promises to be nearly unbearable.
