Madsummer
MADSUMMER opens on Wednesday Oct 5 at 8pm at Redwood Curtain Theatre in Old Town Eureka with a Pay What you Can open dress rehearsal. All proceeds from this performance will benefit Redwood Curtain. There are no reservations for this performance. It is first come, first served.
A very free, jukebox musical, adaptation of MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM with all of the lovers over the age of 60, set in a nursing home during a pandemic with the staff of the home like Cirque on steroids (don’t expect any Shakespearian verse). This will be a play with music. There will be a live band and songs, but also rich characters engaged with the human appetites ala’ the commedia dell’arte…”food money sex and justice”. It is a human comedy with the dark as well as the light. Carlo Mazzone Clementi, one of the founders of Dell’Arte once said that “life is 51% comedy and 49% tragedy and it is the two pushing against each other that creates the human comedy.” That will be MADSUMMER
