BAM 2008 Spring Season

Has now started.
Written in 1960, Samuel Beckett’s “Happy Days” was just wonderful to open the season.
Fabulous Fiona Shaw displayed a woman burried in the earth in two different times. She does not have much ‘body language’ since she is in the earth, up to the waist and then up to the head… was just incredible to see the changes. It is fully convincing.
I saw Shaw in “Media” a few years ago at the same theater. I can’t forget how she performed, and now I dance Media in MGDC, it was a great to see another production of the same story. Even though it was not dance, it gave me a lot to think about.
This play actually has 2 actors, but almost 95% is Shaw’s monologue.
1 and 1/2 hours!
I just loved it.
