Greetings all-
LONG TIME TRAVELLING opens this Friday, April 24 and we are very excited about it...Rich Copley was at our tech rehearsal last night and he put together a photo album, currently running on his blog:
Also, here are my director's notes for the play:
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” Marcel Proust
Change has come to America and not everyone is happy about it…Throughout history, whenever there has been a fundamental shift in a culture, it has taken the work of artists to articulate the dread, unease, excitement, fear, and hope that change inevitably brings. And for my money, the best art is something that shows us a universal truth engendered within a specific setting.
Silas House has conceived of a play that, while it takes place on a small back porch in rural America, has hauntingly captured our current zeitgeist. The fracturing of this family is cultural, generational, sexual, emotional and within this little backyard, we see the hopes and fears, dreams and nightmares, happiness and anger…in short, he has captured America.
The great American director Robert Wilson once said, “Artists are recording our times and the artists are the diaries of our times. In the future this is what society will look back on as a record of our times, what artists are saying.”
Silas House is capturing OUR time…and our Commonwealth is better for having him here now…
