Tony Kushner's Adaptation of 17th Century Play The Illusion

Full Price:
$25.00
Our Price:
$10.00

With this modern reinvention, Tony Kushner (Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright of Angels in America) triumphantly reinvents L'illusion Comique,, the fascinating, theatrical fairy-tale first told by French classical dramatist Pierre Corneille more than 370 years ago. A father, on a mission to reunite with his estranged son, enlists the services of a powerful sorcerer who conjures up provocative images from the young man's life. The father is led deep into a maze of romance, intrigue, conspiracy, and murder. But just how much of it is true? Witty and profound, timely and transcendent, The Illusion weaves reality and truth with the magic of the theater. Learn More

Description

Rick Foucheux in The Director: The Third Act of Elia Kazan

A New Play Written and Directed by Leslie A. Kobylinski

Helen Hayes Award-winning actor Rick Foucheux stars in this biographical account of the rise and fall of controversial Academy Award®-winning director Elia Kazan ("A Streetcar Named Desire," "On the Waterfront"). At the pinnacle of his success, Kazan's name dropping before the House Committee on Un-American Activities in the early 1950s set off a dizzying descent into political controversy, and the beginning of a heart wrenching search for emotional truth and justice.
