Synopsis: | On the deck of his flagship, the expedition commander addresses his men, his voice rising in stirring peroration: 'Let us all be new men! Born today! This minute! And with only one purpose in mind! To push forward to triumph! To push forward - to Japan!' That Columbus had a clearer sense of destiny than destination is, even without the facile irony of hindsight, emblematic of the confusion of motives and expectations which inspired him and his companions to undertake their epoch-making voyage, and which Richard Nelson explores in this intimate drama of epic events. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean-Claude Carriere | |||||
Synopsis: | Imagine a time when the Catholic Church had the right to determine whether or not you were human. In a sixteenth-century Spanish monastery, the fate of millions of American natives from an ocean away hangs precariously in the balance. THE CONTROVERSY OF VALLADOLID, an exciting new masterwork by French playwright and screenwriter Jean-Claude Carriere, brings to light the shocking real-life debates whose outcomes are still felt today. Jean-Claude Carriere's fierce attack on [the Catholic Church] for its policies on human slavery makes for a refreshing change. Although based on a Spanish papal tribunal of 1550, Carriere's stern historical drama hits a resounding contempo note with its revelations of how the church agonized over its ultimate conclusion that indigenous American natives were children of God after all-after invading their land, destroying their culture, plundering their natural resources and subjecting thousands of people to servitude, torture and death. -Variety. | |||||

Synopsis: | Widely regarded as the man who laid the foundations of modern British theatre, Harley Granville-Barker was famed for his Shakespeare productions and wrote and produced ground breaking new plays in the early twentieth century. He lectured at Cambridge, Oxford, Yale and Harvard. Richard Nelsons new play finds him embittered and world-weary in Massachusetts in 1916, with war raging in Europe, having fallen in with a group of British expatriates endeavouring to find their way in an academic, theatre obsessed community. Internecine, intrigue, lust and betrayal permeates this witty and absorbing study of human nature, as Granville Barker gradually rediscovers his love of the Art of theatre and his faith in its centrality to a life well lived. | |||||

Synopsis: | "THE FATHER still has the power to astonish. Richard Nelson's new adaptation of the Swedish text speaks in clean, spare English prose, the kind that remains discreetly outside time without betraying the conventions of the period when the play was written (1887). . .. It's not exactly news to report that THE FATHER is an extraordinary play. The news is that its ability to shock remains undiminished as,in the course of twenty-four hours, the increasingly chilly, twenty-year marriage of the Captain and the willful Laura escalates into a war to the death. We are deep in territory that Ingmar Bergman would later explore, though never with quite such harrowing results. . . .Mr Nelson's excellent adaptation." Vincent Canby, The New York Times | |||||

Synopsis: | Can you betray your country, when your country has betrayed itself? In 1780, America's most successful General believed the War of Independence had lost its way. He decided to surrender his soldiers, hand over George Washington to the British and end the war. In America today, General Benedict Arnold is considered one of the most heinous men the world has ever known; in London, a plaque celebrates the house where he lived out his years in exile. Richard Nelson's haunting play presents a richly emotional portrait of a man searching for love and country, and finding only compromise and despair. | |||||

Synopsis: | Schnitzler's LA RONDE, a cynical turn-of-the-century romance that Nelson reinvented as a rueful American tale. Set in 1947, this cycle of brief sexual encounters in a seaside New England town contrasts the sadness of each manipulative liaison with the surface optimism of period songs. The World War has burned out; its passions are gone, too. What's left is a reflection of the play's subtitle: "Scenes of Sex in a New Society." Once again, Nelson is not far from the war of his own youth and its shallow aftermath. | |||||

Synopsis: | We first meet Marianne, a retired college president, and Eddie, who writes essays on pornography for The New York Review of Books, in the Adirondacks. They are waiting for Elinor, an editor at a Manhattan publishing house, to arrive by motorboat and explain her memoir. In her memoir, Elinor savages her oldest friend, Marianne, as typical of a whole class of I'm-all-right-Jack Upper West side intellectuals who betrayed their youthful idealism in the dreary Cold War years. Eddie, an ex-husband as well as an ex-radical, has been deleted, even from Elinor's index. From the beginning of their menage a trois, Eddie has always been the odd man out. [LEFT] is as much consumed by female friendship as it is by left history. Almost immediately, we flash back fifty years to their first visit to the Adirondacks, fresh from college politics in the middle of the Spanish Civil War, looking for money to start a magazine a lot like Partisan Review. We'll go back and forth the rest of the play, until all six of them, the pure of heart and their revised editions, are in the same room, at the same time, a crowd of regrets. These people talk about Joseph Stalin and the Sierra Club, Amnesty International and Saran Wrap, South Africa and skinny-dipping. What they're really talking about is friendship in history. If the person is political, how much so, at what cost and is there any forgiveness? I felt like a spy, switching sides so often in my sympathies. | |||||

Synopsis: | "ROOTS IN WATER is a series of 12 short plays, ranging from five to 15 minutes in length. Some have already been staged at a small theater in Woodstock, but the new radio production is the first time they have been performed as a whole. Richard calls the plays `a fragmented portrait of a generation' -- his generation, the `baby boom' children of the 1950s who came to adulthood in post-Vietnam America. All the characters are American, though not all the plays take place in the USA. The drama spans the years 1976 to 1988 and the plays were written over the past eight years. Stylistically different -- some are funny, some satirical, some moving -- they focus on a disparate set of characters including a Vietnam pilot, former anti-war campaigners, teachers, politicians, and lawyers. Nelson sees the series as being `like a volume of collected stories'." Radio Times | |||||
