Berko review: AT THE WAKE OF A DEAD DRAG QUEEN
by Roy Berko 29 Jan '24

29 Jan '24

* •••••••••••••••••••••••••••Capsule judgment: The show, which gets an acceptable performance, isn't for everyone. However, it should make audience members think and expose the average person to people and a way-of-life beyond their norm experience. It’s worth a go-see!

28 Jan '24

*Ensemble Theatre* kicks off the new year with one of the great plays of the 20th century! *MOTHER COURAGE AND HER CHILDREN* *By Bertolt Brecht. Translated by Tony Kushner. Music Composition by Duke Special. * *Co-Directed by Rebecca Moseley & Ian Wolfgang Hinz* *F**eaturing the amazing talents of an amazing ensemble of local Cleveland actors ::* *Laura Rauh, Joseph Milan, Dan Zalevsky, Kyle Huff, Leah Paige Smith, **Kierstan Kathleen Conway, Michael J. Montanus, Santino Montanez, Emily Terry, Arianna Starkman, Kelly Dunn, Mattie Blick, Jabri Little, & Kennan * *Carosielli. * *Mother Courage* was first performed in Zurich in 1941 and is often seen as Brecht's greatest work. Remaining a powerful indictment of war and social injustice, it is an epic drama set in the seventeenth century during the Thirty Years' War. The plot follows the resilient Mother Courage who survives by running a commissary business that profits from all sides. As the war claims all of her children in turn, the play poignantly demonstrates that no one can profit from the war without being subject to its terrible cost also. *“The translation, by American playwright Tony Kushner, is fast-moving, articulate, and reaches the heart of Brecht's reasonings" -Daily Express**The play received its American premiere at The Cleveland Playhouse in 1958! <https://www.clevelandmemory.org/playhouse/timeline.html>* Production Stage Manager:* Kaya Sandel* Set, Lights, & Sound by *Ian Hinz & Becca Moseley* Props by *Becca Moseley* Costumes by *Katie Wells* Dramaturg: *Danielle Beckett* February 9th - 25th, 2024. *Notre Dame College** :: Administration Building :: **Performing Arts Center* 4545 College Rd. :: South Euclid, OH 44121 **Opening Night reception (2/8) Catered by The Little Grapevine!!* Visit:* https://www.ensembletheatrecle.org/mother-courage <https://www.ensembletheatrecle.org/mother-courage>* for more information! *Run Time* :: 2 hrs & 30min.
