Handcart Ensemble

Pulitzer Prize-Winning Poet Paul Muldoon on Handcart’s The Burial at Thebes

“I simply can’t imagine a better production of The Burial at Thebes. Handcart Ensemble is a spectacularly gifted group, absolutely equal to the subtleties of Heaney’s text. I’ll go anywhere to see anything they do.” —Paul Muldoon

Race is still big news in our world

In an interesting bit of timing in our quite-white theater world, today’s New York Times has a feature on George C. Wolfe, a black man leaving a very prominent theater position, while tomorrow’s Christian Science Monitor has an article about three new plays on Broadway dealing with African-American lives. I have no profound point to make. The articles are just good reading and we haven’t posted anything since November.
