“Everything is Illuminated” stage #play adaptation w/ Book-it Repertory Theatre. Endearing #Ukrainian/Russian English accent/translation. Novel old-timey projection medium. Nice touch w/ live #Jewish/#Yiddish background music. But parallel stories were hard to follow. #Holocaust #WWII
Stage play adaptation of “Behold the Dreamers” at Book-It Repertory Theatre. Well-written captivating storytelling. Reminds me of the sacrifices my immigrant parents made to achieve the American Dream. Loved the juxtaposition between the rich & poor. Surprised that so many seats were empty at such a good play.
Watched the stage play adaptation of “American Junkie” at Book-It Repertory Theatre. Visceral, vivid, chilling descriptions of heroin addiction. An ode to the grunge era. Sooooo Seattle.
Watched the stage play adaptation of Willa Cather’s “My Antonia” at Book-It Repertory Theatre. Lots of cast doubling. Entertaining to hear different immigrant & Americana accents but wonder if they were pronounced correctly.
Watched the staged play adaptation of Jane Eyre. Like in Twillight, Pride and Prejudice, & The Phantom of the Opera, I don’t understand the allure of brooding borderline-misogynist male romantic leads.
