Synopsis: | Turtle Shell Productions presents the world premiere of Bernard Malamud's The Assistant, adapted for the stage by Martin Zuckerman. This new play tells a story of the colorful richness and depth of man's moral struggle through the trials of Morris Bober, a deli owner in 1940s Brooklyn, as he humbly and steadfastly lives a loving, virtuous life amidst profound personal and economic challenges. Zuckerman's focus in this adaptation is on "the relationship between Morris, a failed grocer, and Frank, an outsider who had done Morris harm. Frank sees the gentle humanity in Morris, who becomes the father he never had." | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | A foreign war, burgeoning immigration, market ups and downs, exhaustion from the last decade and fear mixed with hope as technology changes rapidly. It's just another typical day in today's society. But turn back the clocks 100 years and theatergoers will soon discover that life in the early 20th century was very similar, when they see Manhattan Transfer. Adapted from John Dos Passos's classic novel of the same name, Manhattan Transfer, by playwright Martin M. Zuckerman, is a portrait of a much younger New York City and told through the interconnected stories of exemplary Manhattanites. | |||||

Synopsis: | This is a program of two one-act plays adapted from stories by Henry James. The following description is from the press release: "Dark and destructive acts seal the fates of the protagonists of each play. In The Marriages, mourning the loss of their mother, Adela and Godfrey have opposing reactions to the prospect of their father remarrying. Adela opposes the intrusion of an obnoxious outsider. Godfrey, on the other hand, hopes his father's fiance will help him break the news of his own secret marriage. Adela goes to extraordinary lengths to disrupt her father's plans and risks her family's love.Beltraffio is set at the home of the world-renowned British author, Mark Ambient. A young American writer, drawn into the conflict between Mark and his wife, Beatrice, over the upbringing of their precocious seven-year-old son. Mark is a leading proponent of the aesthetic movement; Beatrice, a celebrated actress, has reverted to her former religious fanaticism. Realizing that Mark's philosophy will eventually win the child over, Beatrice takes drastic measures to prevent this." | |||||
