Signature Theatre turns the MAX Theatre into a divine disco ball for its latest production. Based on the camp classic 1980 film, Xanadu was a surprise Broadway hit when it was adapted into a musical. This hilarious, award-winning comedy tells the story of a Greek Muse sent to Earth to inspire a struggling artist. The unexpected side effects of her adventure include discovering true love and building the world's first roller disco. The show features hit songs by Electric Light Orchestra and Olivia Newton-John, including "Magic," "Suddenly," "I Am Alive" and "Xanadu." Learn More

This is definitely not a play for everyone. It is very stream-of-conciousness and bleak. Most of the audience feedback was, "weird, odd, different, and it had not plot!"Written on Mar 19 2007

More Information About Crave
Description
Signature inaugurates its new 99-seat Ark Theatre with a production of Sarah Kane’s Crave. Set in an unidentifiable city, Crave is a dramatized deconstruction of the human mind under the pressures of love, loss, and longing. Four nameless characters tell their tales of disintegration and isolation. “Their dialogues meet, converge and move apart with balletic grace, with caustically humorous as well as distressing consequences” (Time Out). A stunningly poetic, visceral theater experience, Crave’s powerful—and often shocking—language forges an immediate, intense bond between audience and performer.
British playwright Sarah Kane was hailed as a potential heir to such existential playwrights as Samuel Beckett and Edward Bond prior to her untimely death at age 28. She has become one of the most widely produced playwrights in Europe. In Germany alone, there were 17 productions of Kane’s plays being mounted in 2003--a remarkable number for a playwright who had written only five plays.
Director Jeremy Skidmore makes his Signature directorial debut with Crave. He is the Artistic Director of Theater Alliance in Washington, D.C., where he’s directed Gross Indecency, Mary’s Wedding, Tales from Ovid, Slaughter City and Painted Alice. Other local credits include After the Flood for Rorschach Theatre, The Learned Ladies for Catalyst Theater Company and The Gingham Dog for African Continuum Theatre Company. Regionally he’s worked on Speed the Plow for The Magellan Project in L.A., The Indian Wants the Bronx for the 14th Street Playhouse in Atlanta and the workshop of Painted Alice for Sonnet Rep in New York.
