Review of "North Pool" at Ensemble Theatre
by Bob Abelman via NEohioPAL 16 May '17

16 May '17

Ensemble’s ‘The North Pool’ offers interesting, not intriguing bait and switch Bob Abelman Cleveland Jewish News, The News Herald, The Morning Journal Member, International Association of Theatre Critics As has been noted in these pages on a number of occasions, playwright Rajiv Joseph has a remarkable proclivity for examining big-ticket issues by way of small-scale stories. In his “Mr. Wolf,” the infinite possibilities of the universe are explored by way of a parent whose child has been abducted by an astronomer and the infinitesimal odds of finding her alive. In his 2010 Pulitzer Prize-nominated drama “Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo,” Man’s inhumanity to Man is examined through a running narrative supplied by a tiger trapped in a cage that is surrounded by the Gulf war. And in his one-act “The North Pool,” which premiered Off-Off Broadway in 2013 and is currently on stage at Ensemble Theatre, Joseph breaks down the nature of ethnic, racial and religious prejudice by placing two people – a public high school vice principal and a transfer student – in a room. While the small confines of the vice principal’s office (realistically rendered by set designer Walter Boswell) makes for an intense evening of theater, it can also be argued that Joseph has set his sights so small as to keep this interesting play from becoming particularly intriguing.

Auditions for the dangerous "Neighbors"" by Obie Winner/MacArthur Genius Brandon Jacob-Jenkins at Convergence-Continuum on May 23rd & 24th. NEIGHBORS by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins directed by Terrence Spivey July 7 - July 29 NEIGHBORS by Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins (An Octoroon, Appropriate) is in parts minstrel show, family drama and tragic farce as it takes racial rage head-on in our supposedly "post-racial" world with shocking, savage humor. This outrageously provocative and controversial play will be directed by Terrence Spivey (dir. of last year's con-con production of Bootycandy) Audition Dates: Tuesday, May 23rd 7pm-9:30pm/Wednesday, May 24th 7pm-9:30pm Rehearsal Start Date: May 30th (5 to 6 days a week).

Note: the ethnicity and/or gender of the actors playing the Crows is not specified. "…audacious, fitfully stunning…Jacobs-Jenkins invents a theatrical conceit sure to baffle and enrage…it's exciting to hear a new voice that is by turns silly and profound." —Time Out NY. "Mr. Jacobs-Jenkins has talent…effective comic writing…daring conceit." —NY Times. "Part deconstructed minstrel show, part family drama and a sharp retelling of Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis, Jacobs-Jenkins' tragic farce has more energy and ideas than half a dozen anodyne 'issue' plays…Jacobs-Jenkins knows that rage plays best as savage humor, and he takes us to excruciatingly awkward places—and then leaves us to fend for ourselves…Messy, bold, desperately funny, and deeply felt: NEIGHBORS is worth getting to know." —LA Times.
