TribLIVE: Two popular sayings kept running through my head during “Pantagleize”: The Beatles' lyric “You say you want a revolution?” and the cautionary warning, “Be careful what you wish for, for surely it shall be yours.”
Quantum Theatre's bitterly funny production, which is playing inside a vacant office space in Point Breeze, is a fresh and free adaptation of Michel de Ghelderode's 1931 play “Pantagleize.”
First off, I'm super excited to see what Jed does with the direction of this production. I think it's great that this is in an office space. I think it's cool when people try a different approach unlike traditional theatre. The idea of the audience people walking into the world/atmosphere of the story is very powerful.
ReplyDeleteI really want to see this production!!!! Quantum produces amazing work that is really new and edgy. This kind of theater allows for the audience to really experience the play in a way that one can't in a normal show. Jed's directing is always fantastic and combined with the amazing design team I would expect this show to be nothing less than a hit!
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing posters about Pantagleize all over Purnell recently! As far as I had known, just Susan Tsu was part of the production, but it's even more enticing knowing that Jed Harris is working on it as well. I always find it amazing when our teachers work together in outside theaters. It's heart-warming to see and hear about those we learn from working together to create fabulous productions.
