(That was, in fact, the year he did turn 40.) It is at that age that his lead character, light comedy actor Garry Essendine, faces a myriad of circumstances that only Coward could have written. The Old Vic production, directed by Matthew Warchus, was filmed and will be screened at the <a href="http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/ntlout36-present-laughter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">James Bridges Theatre</a> at UCLA on Saturday, February 22nd.</p> <p>The weight of this play falls on the shoulders of the actor playing Essendine. For this production those shoulders belong to Andrew Scott, perhaps best known as the “hot priest” from <em>Fleabag</em>.</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/Evky_jo2vus" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>This is the kind of part that is bait for any actor. Coward played the part originally. Others to tackle it have included Albert Finney, Peter O’Toole, Frank Langella, Victor Garber, Ian McKellan and Kevin Kline.</p> <p>Michael Billington, in London’s <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2019/jun/26/present-laughter-review-old-vic-london-andrew-scott" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Guardian</span></a>, said of Scott’s performance, “Andrew Scott gives a virtuosic performance in Noël Coward’s imperishable 1943 comedy. He lends the hero, Garry Essendine, a mixture of twinkling charm and driving egomania characteristic of the kind of actor-manager Coward was portraying and possibly of the author himself. It is a richly funny performance…”</p> <p>Putting together a brief synopsis for so madcap a play as <em>Present Laughter</em> would be a fool’s enterprise. With a play like this, the less you know the better. Why spoil either the jokes or the circumstances that allow them to live so deliciously?</p> <p>For tickets go <a href="https://ci.ovationtix.com/1551/production/1013730?performanceId=10490874" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a>.</p> <p>Note: For those who like to plan ahead, there will also be a screening of <em>Present Laughter</em> at the <a href="http://bostoncourtpasadena.org/events/nt-live-present-laughter/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Boston Court Theatre</a> in Pasadena on May 27th.</p> <p>Photo: Andrew Scott in <em>Present Laughter</em> (Photo by Manuel Harlan/Courtesy of National Theatre Live)</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2020/02/17/nt-lives-present-laughter/">NT Live’s “Present Laughter”</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://culturalattache.co/2020/02/17/nt-lives-present-laughter/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>The Hard Problem</title> <link>https://culturalattache.co/2019/11/11/the-hard-problem/</link> <comments>https://culturalattache.co/2019/11/11/the-hard-problem/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig Byrd]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 11 Nov 2019 20:37:36 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Play's The Thing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Adhir Kalyan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Desirée Moe Jung]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Eddie Cahill]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Hannah Murray]]></category> <category><![CDATA[James Bridges Theatre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Julian Morris]]></category> <category><![CDATA[L.A.

In 2015, he unveiled <em>The Hard Problem</em>, which had its world premiere in London. Critics were divided and now local audiences can get a chance to hear the play when L.A.

In the rather gargantuan Park Avenue Armory <em>The Lehman Trilogy</em> was performed. It’s a play that follows the Lehman family from their arrival in America as immigrants through the rise and fall of Lehman Brothers. It’s fascinating theatre and is being shown this week (and continuing into August) as part of National Theatre Live. It <a href="http://ntlive.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/72252-the-lehman-trilogy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">all begins</a> with the live performance on Thursday, July 25th.</p> <p><iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/66vAn9prpS8" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p> <p>As directed by Sam Mendes, three actors portray all the characters in <em>The Lehman Trilogy</em>. Those stunningly versatile actors are Adam Godley, Simon Russell Beale and Ben Miles. They also don’t just act the story. Much of the story, as written by playwright Stefano Massini (adapted by Ben Power), is told to the audience. You don’t need to know anything about this history. It is not only presented very clearly, it’s also utterly compelling theatre. Don’t be afraid of the material. It seems dry, but I can assure you there is nothing dry about this play at all.</p> <p>Whether you live in Los Angeles or anywhere else, you can use the link in the opening paragraph to find a performance near you. In the LA area, there will be four performances at the James Bridges Theatre (July 27th, 28th and August 4th and 25th.) Irvine Barclay Theatre will be screening <em>The Lehman Trilogy</em>, but not until February 5th.</p> <p>The only truly live performance is on the 25th of July. All other showings will be just that…screenings of the live performance from this week.</p> <p>Rumor has it that a tour of <em>The Lehman Trilogy</em> is being planned. But this play, to be seen properly, requires quite a large theatre. Even if you think you’ll want to see the play live, I strongly recommend you go to one of the screenings to see it as originally produced.</p> <p>Photo: Adam Godley, Simon Russell Beale and Ben Miles</p> <p>Photo by Mark Douet/Courtesy of National Theatre Live</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2019/07/22/the-lehman-trilogy-live/">The Lehman Trilogy – LIVE</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://culturalattache.co/2019/07/22/the-lehman-trilogy-live/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>DIE MOMMIE DIE</title> <link>https://culturalattache.co/2019/05/14/die-mommie-die-2/</link> <comments>https://culturalattache.co/2019/05/14/die-mommie-die-2/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig Byrd]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 14 May 2019 18:05:24 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[The Play's The Thing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Carl Andress]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Charles Busch]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Die Mommie Die]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ellis Greer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[James Bridges Theatre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LA Theatre Works]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mark Capri]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Ruth Williamson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Willie Garon]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://culturalattache.co/?p=5505</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>James Bridges Theatre/UCLA<br /> <br /> May 17th - May 19th</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2019/05/14/die-mommie-die-2/">DIE MOMMIE DIE</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When LA Theatre Works presents their radio plays in front of a live audience they don’t often utilize costumes. However, one wonders if an exception might be made when Charles Busch performs his classic comedy <a href="https://latw.org/live-in-la" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Die Mommie Die</em></a> this weekend at the James Bridges Theatre at UCLA. The performances are Friday-Sunday.</p> <p>If you aren’t familiar with the play, Busch plays Angela Arden, a movie star on the decline who wants to get out of her horrible marriage to Sol Sussman (Willie Garson) and hopes to return some luster to her faded glory. Her daughter, Edith (Ellis Greer), is convinced her mother is behind the sudden death of her father and will stop at nothing to get the truth.</p> <figure id="attachment_5507" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5507" style="width: 169px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5507" src="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson-169x300.jpg" alt="" width="169" height="300" srcset="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson-169x300.jpg 169w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson-768x1365.jpg 768w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson-576x1024.jpg 576w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson-696x1237.jpg 696w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson-1068x1899.jpg 1068w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson-236x420.jpg 236w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Ruth-Williamson.jpg 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 169px) 100vw, 169px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-5507" class="wp-caption-text">Ruth Williamson</figcaption></figure> <p>There is another character worth mentioning. Bootsie, the maid who is in love with Sol. That role was originally written by Busch for his friend and frequent co-star Ruth Williamson. She has never played the part and these performances mark the first time Busch’s vision for Bootsie will be realized by the actress he had in mind while writing the play.</p> <p>Mark Capri, who was a member of the original cast of <em>Die Mommie Die </em>returns to the role of well-endowed tennis pro Tony Park, a man who has yet to meet someone he can’t seduce.</p> <p><em>Die Mommie Die </em>is directed by Carl Andress. Like all LATW performances, each performance is recorded and they are all edited together so the performances can be distributed worldwide for radio broadcast, digital download, streaming and CD purchase.</p> <p>Like many of Busch’s plays, any knowledge you have of great femme fatale movies from the 30s to the 50s will enhance your enjoyment of the show. However, <em>Die Mommie Die</em> is impossible to not enjoy. So lacking that familiarity will not be a hindrance at all.</p> <p>This is comedy for the entire family – regardless of how you define “family.”</p> <p>For tickets go <a href="https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/992320" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2019/05/14/die-mommie-die-2/">DIE MOMMIE DIE</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://culturalattache.co/2019/05/14/die-mommie-die-2/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Oslo</title> <link>https://culturalattache.co/2019/04/10/oslo/</link> <comments>https://culturalattache.co/2019/04/10/oslo/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig Byrd]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 10 Apr 2019 18:00:55 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[The Play's The Thing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Brian Kite]]></category> <category><![CDATA[J.T.

An example is J.T. Rodgers’ <em>Oslo</em>. The play, which opened at the Vivian Beaumont at Lincoln Center in 2017, was nominated for seven Tony Awards. It won two, including the most important award, Best Play. That acclaim, however, did not translate into a tour or even a local production. LA Theatre Works comes to the rescue with this weekend’s radio play performances of <a href="https://latw.org/event/oslo-event-20182019" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Oslo</em></a> starting Friday, April 12th at the James Bridges Theatre at UCLA. Performances continue through Sunday the 14th.</p> <p>The play, as timely today with recent elections and upheaval in the Middle East, depicts the backroom deals, personal relationships and odd partners that lead to the Oslo Peace Accord between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Rather than focus on politics, Rodgers focuses on the people involved and their relationships with one another.</p> <figure id="attachment_5111" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-5111" style="width: 169px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-5111" src="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Anthony-Azizi-169x300.jpg" alt=""Oslo" by J.T.

Oppenheimer was the creator/head writer on the legendary television show. Now his son, Gregg, has put together a play that depicts the struggles Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz had getting the show on the air. LA Theatre Works will be presenting five performances in their well-established radio theatre series of live performances. The show is called <a href="https://latw.org/event/i-love-lucy-funny-thing-happened-way-sitcom-event-20172018" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i>I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom</i></a> and performances begin on Thursday at the James Bridges Theatre at UCLA.</p> <p>Playing Lucy and Desi in these performances are Sarah Drew and Oscar Nuñez. Ron Bottita plays William S. Frawley, Abigail Marks is Vivian Vance and Seamus Deaver plays Jess Oppenheimer. Gregg Oppenheimer has overseen the continued legacy of the series and has culled all the information he received from his father and other to create this play.</p> <p>So if you’re not tired, rundown, listless, unpopular and you don’t poop out at parties, then this should be a great show for you.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2018/07/09/love-lucy-funny-thing-happened-way-sitcom/">I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://culturalattache.co/2018/07/09/love-lucy-funny-thing-happened-way-sitcom/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Spill – LA Theatre Works</title> <link>https://culturalattache.co/2018/05/14/spill-la-theatre-works/</link> <comments>https://culturalattache.co/2018/05/14/spill-la-theatre-works/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig Byrd]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Mon, 14 May 2018 15:04:33 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[The Play's The Thing]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Darren Richardson]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Deepwater Horizon]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Elisa Bocanegra]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Gilbert Glenn Brown]]></category> <category><![CDATA[James Bridges Theatre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[James Morrison]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Jane Kaczmarek]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Kate Steele]]></category> <category><![CDATA[LA Theatre Works]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Leigh Fondakowski]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Mark Jude Sullivan]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Martin Jarvis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Nicholas Hormann]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Spill]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Travis Johns]]></category> <category><![CDATA[UCLA]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">http://culturalattache.co/?p=2911</guid> <description><![CDATA[<p>James Bridges Theatre/UCLA<br /> <br /> May 17-May 20</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2018/05/14/spill-la-theatre-works/">Spill – LA Theatre Works</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure id="attachment_2914" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2914" style="width: 256px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class=" wp-image-2914" src="http://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Spill_graphic_sm-300x300.jpg" alt=""Spill" is presented as a radio play by LATW" width="256" height="256" srcset="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Spill_graphic_sm-300x300.jpg 300w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Spill_graphic_sm-150x150.jpg 150w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Spill_graphic_sm-420x420.jpg 420w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Spill_graphic_sm.jpg 432w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2914" class="wp-caption-text">LA Theatre Works presents “Spill” at the James Bridges Theatre this week</figcaption></figure> <p>In Leigh Fondakowski’s <em>Spill</em>, she uses the words of those who lost loved ones and were otherwise impacted by the Deepwater Horizon accident in 2010.

The play was nominated for a Tony Award as Best Play. This week LA Theatre Works is presenting a radio theatre production of <a href="https://latw.org/event/disgraced-event-20172018" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Disgraced</em></a> as part of their season. The performances begin on Thursday and continue through Sunday at the James Bridges Theatre at UCLA.</p> <p>In Akhtar’s play, Amir, a lawyer, and his wife, Emily, an artist, are holding a dinner party. Their guests are Jory, a friend from work and an art dealer, Isaac, who is considering representing the Emily’s work. Amir has eschewed his Muslim heritage for quicker advancement at the law firm. Emily is exploring his identity in one of her paintings. Amir is forced to deal with his identity when his nephew asks him to get involved after a local imam is arrested. These events ultimately upend the dinner party when prejudices and loyalties come into question.</p> <figure id="attachment_2582" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-2582" style="width: 300px" class="wp-caption alignleft"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-medium wp-image-2582" src="http://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" srcset="https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9-300x169.jpg 300w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9-768x432.jpg 768w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9-696x392.jpg 696w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9-747x420.jpg 747w, https://culturalattache.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Dhillon-16x9.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /><figcaption id="caption-attachment-2582" class="wp-caption-text">Hari Dhillon, plays Amir in “Disgraced.”</figcaption></figure> <p>Hari Dhillon, who originated the role of Amir on Broadway, returns for these performances.

He is also a supporter and regular participant in radio theater performances of plays for L.A. Theatre Works.</p> <p>In our <strong>April issue (on newsstands now!)</strong>, Molina talks about the actor’s transition from stage to screen, and next month, he will portray Doctor Thomas Stockmann in <a href="http://www.latw.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LATW</a>’s production of Henrik Ibsen’s <em>An Enemy of the People </em>(April 10-13 at UCLA’s James Bridges Theatre)<em>.</em> In the play, Dr. Stockmann finds serious contamination in the drainage system that supports a bathing complex built to boost the economy of the town. At first he is thanked for his discovery, but soon his brother, the mayor, instigates an effort to discredit his brother because the cost of fixing the problem is too high and risks ruining the business community. Here he elaborates on the project.</p> <div class="inline-ad inline-ad-1"></div> <p><strong>What appealed to you about doing <em>An Enemy of the People</em>?</strong><br /> It’s a perfect example of a perfectly wonderful play. It doesn’t get done very often, partly because there’s a large cast and the economics of theatre—it’s a hard one to do today. It’s also very timely with its themes of ecology. It’s essentially a story about a man concerned about the environment and how big business massages the debate in order to secure its own interest In turn the environmental lobby massages to protect theirs. These plays are timely because they are not about issues; they are about human beings.</p> <p><strong>What are the challenges of playing Dr. Stockmann?</strong><br /> It’s the challenge of making him not sound like a standoffish intellectual elitist. Very often when you have an active or dramatic debate between characters of opposing positions, it’s easy for the heroes to sound like they are taking the higher ground. The play is really as much about Stockmann’s resisting the inevitable, but at the same time doing it for all the right reasons. The title itself is rather ironic: He’s actually the enemy of big corporate businesses who are making him <em>sound </em>like the enemy of the people.</p> <p><strong>What opportunities does L.A. Theatre Works offer you that are unique to that program</strong><br /> It is a chance to do some really good plays. And the great thing about Los Angeles is that there is the enormous pool of talented actors who are keen to keep working. Most of us make a living in film and television, but there’s always this hankering to do theatre. LATW offers a creative haven where the quality of the plays is very high and the nature of the work is very good.</p> <p><strong>LATW shows are recorded for broadcast on the radio in front of an audience. Does that change the performance you give</strong>?<br /> Not really. The live audience gives us an environment that’s good for us. It gives us a little jolt. It ups the ante. Any kind of first night nerves are good for us. The live audience is getting the play in the same way the radio audience will, except the radio audience has the benefit of hearing the best versions of everything over all of the performances. I’ve gone to listen to LATW productions being recording and it’s still a thrilling experience. It’s great for us as actors to be able to record with a live audience.</p> <p><strong>What role does theatre play in the city of film and television?</strong><br /> We’re in an industry town that sucks out all the oxygen in the room. That’s how it should be. That doesn’t mean the standard of theatre is low. The standard is very high. We’re bound to be perceived as the poor relation, but that has nothing to do with the standard of the work.</p> <p>Audiences are always surprised to see people who earn their living as screen actors show up in a play. What amazes me is when I hear audiences say, ‘That’s the guy from such and such television show.’ The subtext is, ‘What the fuck is he doing here?’ They don’t say that, but that’s what they’re thinking.</p> <p><strong>What other roles would you like to do either with LATW or elsewhere on stage?</strong><br /> I’d love to do a production of <em>The Heiress</em> one day. I’d love to do Willy Loman (<em>Death of a Salesman</em>) one day. There’s so much available, but it’s hard for theatre companies to put on these shows because they were written in a time when a two and a half hour play with ten people in the cast was normal. I can’t remember the last time I did a play like that. The last play I did (<em>Red</em>) had two people. The play before that had three (<em>Art</em>). And they lasted 90 minutes. I’d love to play Henry Higgins in <em>Pygmalion</em>, but there are, like, 17 people in that cast. Who’s going to put that on?</p> <p><strong>How long will you continue acting in theatre?</strong><br /> Most actors who become more active in the theatre as opposed to film and television tend to be those who started in the theatre. It becomes a more logical, organic move. I’m 60 now, and I was talking to some actors who are four or five years older than I, and they are preparing for big productions in New York or London. I want to make sure I can still do it. I want to make sure I can still remember the lines. You get into late middle age and you wonder if you still have the stamina. It’s hard work on the body. It uses a set of muscles that don’t get used in TV and film.</p> <p>Photograph courtesy of Facebook.com/AlfredMolina</p> <p>The post <a href="https://culturalattache.co/2014/03/24/qa-stage-and-screen-star-alfred-molina-on-the-benefits-of-a-live-audience-and-the-characters-he-has-yet-to-portray/">Q&A: Stage and Screen Star Alfred Molina On the Benefits of a Live Audience and the Characters He Has Yet to Portray</a> appeared first on <a href="https://culturalattache.co">Cultural Attaché</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://culturalattache.co/2014/03/24/qa-stage-and-screen-star-alfred-molina-on-the-benefits-of-a-live-audience-and-the-characters-he-has-yet-to-portray/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
