I really thought it was – I’d seen a lot of bad local theater when I saw it so – Q: As you guys know, I’ve seen it, and I loved it. FMI click this link or call (757) 627-8551. This conversation has been edited for clarity and length. General admission is $15 or, for season subscribers, $10. 9, at the Little Theater of Norfolk, 801 Claremont Ave. The show runs at 8 p.m., Friday through Sunday, Nov. At the time, we discussed the Suzuki Method of Actor Training and Viewpoints training, CORE’s founding, and some of their adaptations and originals. This talk is with my longtime friends Emel Ertugrul, managing director, artistic associate and actor and Edwin Castillo, Suzuki/Viewpoints training instructor and artistic associate. I talked with members of Core shortly before the first run of 40 Whacks. It has involved casts of varying sizes, and the latest incarnation features all woman in portrayals of the isolated, thwarted heroine at its center and the wallpaper itself.
The show has been performed locally before, as well as being taken on the road. Core is well known for its physical performances, and some of the themes and suggested characters within the story are reflected in the embodiment by actors of the wallpaper. The story is structured as journal entries of Jane, who suffers from the control of her husband, expectations of society, etc., which effectively deny her the ability to think and control her own life. The short story, a late 19th Century exploration of an isolated woman’s deteriorating mental health, is a key work of feminist literature. I’m excited to see it again, and excited to talk to some old friends about how they adapted the Charlotte Perkins Gilman work – and how the show has evolved.

You must have the admission code printed on your ticket for the performance you are exchanging. With wit and gaiety, Wilde paints a scathing critique of gossips, income gaps, sexist attitudes, and the perils of protecting one’s morals. Deceit and lies weave themselves throughout as Wilde pulls the curtain on the hypocrisy of moralistic Victorian society. As Sir Robert flips back and forth between following his heart and protecting his reputation, Lady Cheveley tries to win back the affection of her ex-fiancee, Lord Goring. When she threatens to tell his beloved Lady Chiltern- and the world- that Sir Robert’s money came from an illegal stock secret, Sir Robert feels he has no choice but to give in to her demands When Sir Robert changes his stance on the canal, Lady Chiltern questions his decision, urging him to stay true to his morals. Cheveley is an old enemy of Lady Chiltern’s from their school days, Lord Goring’s ex-fiancee, and is on a mission to blackmail Sir Robert into supporting a fraudulent scheme to build a canal in Argentina. Suddenly, an unexpected - and unwelcome - guest arrives. At a distinguished dinner party in Grosvenor Square, London, we meet Sir Robert Chiltern, a wealthy member of the House of Commons his wife, Lady Chiltern his sister, Mabel Chiltern and Sir Robert’s charming bachelor friend, Lord Arthur Goring.
