He is torn by feelings of guilt when his wife dies, but is determined to marry Sasha. During the period of their engagement even this relationship sours on him, and on the morning of his wedding day, he can no longer live a lie and he shoots himself.

Notes: | Original Playwright - Jean Genet | |||||
Synopsis: | A 26-member cast of actors, artists, musicians and dancers re-imagine Jean Genet's last work, The Screens-a poetic combustion so strong and dense that it will illuminate the world of the dead." Welcome to a world in which becoming a hero is the worst of all fates and betrayal the ultimate triumph. The Screens, set during the Algerian War, is a sharply humorous exorcism of today's taboos seen through Genet's subversive glee. This show is presented by Columbia University School of the Arts, Theatre Arts Program. | |||||

Notes: | Original Playwright - Anton Chekhov | |||||
Synopsis: | NAATCO's production of The Seagull takes its cue from Chekhov's subtitle: "A Comedy in 4 Acts." Director Gia Forakis excavates the vaudevillian sense of humor in the play and couples it with the bitter despair of Chekhov's characters to provoke what she calls "comedy's wicked step-cousin, the grotesque," where tragedy and comedy live alongside one another. This production employs an all-Asian cast. | |||||
