By the Way, Meet Vera Stark: Sly Satire Skewers Hollywood Racism

Set in Hollywood over a 70-year period, Pulitzer Prize winner Lynn Nottage's pseudo-biographical comedy By the Way, Meet Vera Stark follows the life of a headstrong African-American actress who begins a career in the 1930s, at a time when her only shot at success lay in stealing small scenes in big Hollywood blockbusters. Seventy years later, film buffs reflect on the life and legacy of the controversial star, whose eventual fame and fortune came at the price of perpetuating dangerous stereotypes. Nottage artfully blends comedy and social commentary for a thoroughly entertaining yet thought-provoking picture of the cultural climate that shaped Vera Stark. Clever and illuminating, this show draws on screwball films of the 1930s and uses today's fascination with celebrity and controversy to get to the truth behind the legend, and reflect on who she might have been if she'd lived in a different time.

Written on Oct 16 2012Absurdly well done and thought provoking. To imagine if we will experience something truly exciting to happen in our non-unique lives as we wait for Godot? Or will we just spin our wheels until the end comes?
Exciting, absurd, morose, fatalistic.

Written on Apr 16 2012Every production I've ever seen of Godot was funny. This interpretation was dark, confrontational, and slow-moving. The actors were talented (especially Lucky), but I just didn't enjoy it.

Written on Apr 15 2012I enjoy Beckett. He is difficult to stage because of his post-modern absurdist style. The acting was good, not great. Ditto with the direction. It needed to be tighter to be more effective. Worth seeing, as Beckett isn't often staged.

Written on Apr 11 2012This is an absolutely fantastic production of one of my all time favorite plays. All the actors bring a tangible weight to the gorgeous words of Mr. Beckett. Not to be missed!

Description
Waiting For Godot is the story of two thieves waiting in a void for a mysterious stranger. Their days are spent by the side of a road concocting rituals spun from their own consciousness. Part play, part poem, part dream, Beckett's masterpiece remains one of the most fiercely funny and profound allegories of our time.
