EVE – Dramatists Guild of America SF Footlights

serichte on

Eve is a meta-theatrical conversation between some of the great works of theatre, film, and literature, employed to speak to present day issues of nationalism, immigration rights, the First Amendment, refugees, an expanding opioid epidemic, and the purpose of the theatre itself. As a hybrid adaptation of the 1950 film All About Eve and Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus, Eve investigates the roles of women, the currency of female youth and beauty, the relationships between mothers and daughters, fathers and daughters, political corruption, and the abuse of power

Footnote:  It was such a delicious synchronicity that “Eve” made her U.S. debut at the Phoenix Theater, since Jean Cocteau’s version of Oedipus Tyrannus “The Infernal Machine” opened on February 3, 1958 at the Phoenix Theater in New York, under the direction of Herbert Berghof… (Was übrigens ist sehr sehr cool , nicht wahr?)

Dose – a neo noir for the stage: presentation excerpt from Grad symposium

serichte on

A journalist investigates a government conspiracy involving nano-pharma-mechanical mind control, the erasure of memory, and a disturbing trend of missing persons. Dose – a neo noir for the stage, is a transtemporal / semiotic translation of Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus and Leonard Horn’s 1972 television pilot Hunter, that explores the issues of homelessness in Santa Cruz, the overreaching tendencies of humankind at both the individual and institutional levels, the construction and systematic loss of selfhood, and the marginalization of the ethnic or socioeconomic other.
