Synopsis: | In preparation for an off-Broadway production in 2008, Axis Company is developing material concerning Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. One of the most successful events in theatrical history, Cody's pageant became a large contributor to the beginnings of our national identity; Buffalo Bill literally created it from his own imagination and memories. Buffalo Bill's Wild West was an unprecedented conglomeration of exhibitions concerning legendary frontier life for which audiences as early as 1875 were already nostalgic. In the space of a few years, and unlike any other nation in the world, America had populated its wild country, cleared it of Indians, and joined both coasts with a web of telegraph poles and railway lines. In Cody's live show, Indians and soldiers who had participated in real frontier battles performed in staged versions of the incidents. Settlers who had been attacked by desperate prairie bandits were attacked again in front of spectators by real outlaws playing themselves. Our concept and understanding of the Wild West and our recent pioneer history was largely created live, on stage, in William Cody's circus | |||||

Synopsis: | Axis Company's episodic annual play Hospital examines the interior life of a man in a terminal coma. Entering this state in a different way every year, the audience travels with him as he lives out his last few days roaming the vast, dark interiors of his own brain. In past years he has arrived in this state through varied means: an illness, a house fire, drowning in a swimming pool, freezing, and murder. This year a complicated mystery unfolds to reveal the possible intentions of a manipulative, drug addicted thief. Hospital 2006 asks this question: What is an accident? Although Hospital is a serial, each evening can be viewed separately as a self-contained short play. There are four different episodes | |||||

Notes: | written by Randy Sharp and Axis Company | |||||
| Axis Company presents the ninth installment of its annual Hospital serial, an episodic play that examines the interior life of a man in a terminal coma. The audience travels with him as he lives out his last few days roaming the vast, dark interiors of his own brain. Although Hospital is a serial play, each evening can be viewed separately as a self-contained, short play. This description of the 2008 edition is from the press release: "New York runs on water. From the steam system that heats and electrifies the five boroughs, to the water that flows from millions of taps, without water there is no city. Currently, only two tunnels provide all this water; Tunnel 1 was completed in 1917 and even the newest sections of Tunnel 2 are at least 73 years old. Begun in 1970, Water Tunnel 3's projected completion date is in 2020. As far underground as the Chrysler Building is tall, teams of 'sandhogs' risk their lives digging the path for this tunnel. Every day, far down beneath the feet of all New Yorkers, below the subway and the sewer, the sandhogs live their days in a dangerous, subterranean universe. Hospital 2008 takes place in the aftermath of a catastrophic collapse of part of this tunnel. Three men are trapped beneath the city streets, in a part of the system that is unrecognizable to them. As they attempt to find their individual ways back to the surface, it becomes clear that something beyond normal comprehension may have occurred deep beneath the capitol of the world." | |||||

Synopsis: | Axis Company's episodic multimedia play Hospital examines the interior life of a man in a terminal coma. Entering this state in a different way every year, the audience travels with him as he lives out his last few days roaming the vast, dark interiors of his own brain. Although Hospital is a serial play, each evening can be viewed separately as a self-contained, short play. In Hospital 2009, an astronaut is sitting listening to music in the NOMAD, an escape pod connected to the mothership EARHART. When he accidentally releases the connector arm, his tiny ship hurtles uncontrollably into space. There is the possibility that he has sustained a life threatening brain injury during the accident, but his consciousness is travelling in the void. Waiting for rescue, the astronaut is visited by friends and memories. He thinks he might even be back on Earth, but then he finds himself travelling to destinations not on NASA's flight plan. The final journey of the possibly comatose astronaut, who might be in his apartment after all, is played out against the backdrop of one human being's heart-breaking spirit. | |||||

Synopsis: | Trinity 5:29 centers on J. Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atomic bomb. When Trinity, the first atomic bomb, was tested at 5:29am on July 16, 1945, Oppenheimer whispered a quote from Hindu scripture, 'I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds'. Less than a month later, two 20-megaton bombs were dropped on Japan, killing almost a quarter of a million people. Trapped in a desert of complicated regret, guilt, and justification, New Jersey native Oppenheimer spent the rest of his life trying to decipher his actions. Using the form and structure of the medieval cycle plays, Trinity 5:29 shows Oppenheimer's journey as he remembers his girlfriend Jean Tatlock, the supposed Communist who committed suicide the year before; the arrogant, yet vulnerable General Groves, overseer of The Manhattan Project; and President Harry Truman, who pushed the button that started the end of the world. | |||||
