Members Who Went Said:
I thought everything was a delight. The set was evocative, though the stage was small. Everything worked. The acting was terrific, esp. the old woman. The story was excellent~ very satisfying, with one of those typical James' endings. It brought to mind "The Heiress," and "Washington Square," both of which I've seen on film and on stage with Cherry Jones. For a teensy little theater, etc., it was a big, happy surprise. |

More Details About This Event: Turtle Shell Productions presents the world premiere of a new adaptation by Martin Zuckerman of Henry James's novella, The Aspern Papers. One of James's personal favorites, it features rich characters in a well-crafted story about an American scholar in 1880's Venice who goes to great lengths in order to secure the private letters of a famous poet. See this classic laced with romance and deceit on the New York stage, 100 years since the publishing of the "New York edition" of The Aspern Papers.
