Brian Copeland's New Solo Show The Waiting Period at The Marsh
- Full Price:
- $25.00
- Our Price:
- $12.50
The Marsh presents a workshop performance of Brian Copeland's new solo show, The Waiting Period. Copeland, a multi-talented actor, playwright, author and talk show host, has basked in the glow of both public and critical acclaim for nearly a decade. However, like many other well-known figures, he suffers from debilitating bouts of depression. This show gives an unrelenting look at a ten-day period in his life: the mandatory waiting period before he could lay hands on a new gun with which he planned to commit suicide. Even in the throes of such tragic plans, though, his sense of humor does not desert him (how much should he spend on the gun?), and in fact protects him from the grim reality of his intention. There is laughter in the darkness. Interspersed with interviews with other people suffering from depression, the play also offers outsiders an insider's view, thereby expanding the audience's understanding and, hopefully, humanity.

Delightful clowning at a great price. He took the simplest of materials and gave a great show that was filled with magic.Written on Oct 26 2009

I love the European style of clowning. Stevo Capko is well-known in that world, and his show highlights his expertise in body movement and storytelling. It's more like a demonstration of these skills than a real show, and primarily of interest to those of us who appreciate the mechanics of clowning. Children are likely to be bored (as was my partner) but I found it enormously entertaining.Written on Oct 28 2009

I am familiar with Czech clown acts and this was far from enjoyable for the four of us. While it may be enjoyed by children (4-6 yrs old), it should be advertised as such. Suggestion: try to exchange your tx for one of the other performances!!Written on Oct 27 2009

Inventive clowning, but likely more for kids than adults.Written on Oct 27 2009

More Information About Brick Circk
Description
Coming to The Marsh is the INTERNATIONAL CZECH THEATER FESTIVAL that harvests a long developing series of mutual cooperation and long term inspiration of the movement artists, clowns, and directors connected with two leading master teachers: Ctibor Turba in the Czech Republic and James Donlon of the Flying Actor Studio in San Francisco. The exchange is produced by The Marsh, Flying Actor Studio, The Lit Moon World Theater Festival in Santa Barbara, and HoME o.s., a Prague-based international alternative theater company.
The cutting edge Prague theater Alfred ve dvore (Theater Alfred) managed by Motus o.s. is also helping to produce the project. Motus creates a framework of creative development by supporting alternative and unusual theatrical artistic activities, by actively improving artist's work conditions, and by bringing new directions in art to Czech audiences. Theater Alfred is a member of the NEW WEB project--a network for the circulation of independent theater projects throughout the Czech Republic and neighboring countries. The long range goal of the INTERNATIONAL CZECH THEATER FESTIVAL is to provide opportunities for theater artists connected with The Marsh to tour in Central and Eastern Europe through NEW WEB.
The Marsh will host the award-winning ALBERT'S FEAR, POLARIS, BRICK CIRCK, and FLUSH, a new Czech-American collaboration. The artists will also offer workshops and lectures comparing the contemporary Czech and American physical theater scenes at FLYING ACTOR STUDIO in San Francisco (www.flyingactorstudio.com).
