The Life of Edward the Second of England

Show Summary (top)

Directed by
Elizabeth Eddy

Written by
Bertolt Brecht

Running Dates:
2/12th/99 - 3/6/99

Description:
Creating a "Commedia dell'Industrial Opera" from both Asian and European influences, Open Circle reinvents the story of a king forced to choose between the throne and the man he loves. With polyrhythmic percussion and Brechtian mask-work, this promises to be anything but a dry history play.

FROM THE DIRECTOR...
"Providence has not created mankind entirely free. It is true that around every man a fatal circle is traced beyond which he cannot pass, but within the wide verge of that circle he is powerful and free; as it is with man, so with communities. The nations of our time cannot prevent the conditions of men from becoming equal; but it depends upon themselves whether the principle of equality is to lead them to servitude or to freedom, to knowledge or barbarism, to prosperity or wretchedness."
- Alexis de Tocquerville
- Democracy in America, 1835
