1/9, Friday, 7pm, ReAct Theater. First of the 4 shows of this double bill by Baker Theater Workshop.
Director Peter Temes talked a little bit before each work.
Walking on the Paper Moon is written by an 18 year old, talked about mental illness and suicide. Only ~30 minutes. Surprisingly well done.
Lear is adapted from Shakespear's King Lear. Maybe ~50 min long. I always have trouble understanding Shakespear's english. The play starts with the 3 daughters declaring their love to Lear. Lear disowns Cordelia. Next, Lear becomes mad, wanders in a storm with his fool. They meet Poor Tom. Then I got very confused of what's going on, more so because some actresses play multiple roles.
Overall, enjoyable, even only has minimal stage set. Maybe 30 people in the audience. Bought a drink to support the venue.
