Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean Anouilh; Incidental music by Leonard Bernstein | |||||
Synopsis: | Chapman, writing in the New York News called The Lark: "a beautiful, beautiful play. . .It is always the story of a simple girl who became an inspired warrior and then was tried by the church-but there have been several ways of telling it. Anouilh's way, and Miss Hellman's, is to try to tell the story from two viewpoints. One of them is how we look at the tale now as a piece of history, with our knowledge of how the girl's blundering captors unwittingly created a martyr who became forever a symbol of courage and faith. The other viewpoint has been to try to imagine what it must have been like to be Joan herself. Both approaches to this legend of the Martyr of Rouen have been splendidly realized by the technique of divorcing the drama from the confinements of time, sequence and space. Until the last moment-a thrilling and uplifting one of Joan's greatest earthly triumph, the coronation of the worthless Dauphin for whom she fought-there is no scenery in the usual sense, merely a few levels of steps and platforms | |||||

Synopsis: | The final stage work of Leonard Bernstein makes its long-awaited New York premiere, in its first performance on any stage in 22 years. The work portrays the estranged members of an American familymother, father, daughter, and gay sonas they reunite at a funeral after 20 years. This story of people adrift in their search for serenity carries forward the characters from Bernstein's short youthful satire Trouble in Tahiti (which he conducted at City Opera in 1958).Trouble in Tahiti is incorporated into the second act of A Quiet Place as flashbacks. | |||||
