ENTERTAINMENTJANUARY 11, 2012&lt;br /&gt;True, or False?&lt;br /&gt;By GRAHAM STEWART&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;London&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When in 2002 the BBC organized a viewers' poll to find the "Greatest Briton," there was some surprise that William Shakespeare managed only fifth place but none that Winston Churchill came out on top. The legacy of the British Empire, which at its peak stretched over a quarter of the world, went unrecognized: None of the soldiers and governors that created it made the top 100.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keith Pattison&lt;br /&gt;Warren Clarke as Winston Churchill in 'Three Days in May.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may seem contradictory that Britons appear to regard their country's imperial legacy with indifference while lauding the memory of a 20th-century statesman who believed so passionately in it. Yet enduring admiration for Churchill is based not on a balanced assessment of his 62-year parliamentary career. Rather, it rests primarily upon his determination for Britain to fight on against Nazi Germany in May 1940. With France on the verge of capitulation, Italy joining the fray on Germany's side, Stalin honoring his nonaggression pact with Hitler and no sign or even likelihood that the U.S. might enter the conflict, the chips were hardly stacked in Britain's favor when Churchill made one of the greatest gambles in history. The result was incontrovertibly his country's "finest hour," and by prolonging the conflict made the eventual Allied victory over Nazism possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now London's theatergoers are being treated to a dramatic exploration of the making of that fateful decision, Ben Brown's "Three Days in May," which is billed as revealing the extent to which there was actually a "wobble" at the top. Did Churchill and his colleagues fleetingly consider a negotiated peace with Hitler? Might this be the moment that theater finally succeeds in reversing Churchill's "V for victory" hand gesture, rudely flicking it back at the great man in the British equivalent of the American single-finger salute?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus far, deference-free dramatists intent on toppling Britain's wartime prime minister from his pedestal have met with little success. There was a minor fuss in 1967 when the National Theatre's production of Rolf Hochhuth's "Soldiers" was canceled, though it ultimately made it to the London stage the following year. Mr. Hochhuth's efforts to indict Churchill for permitting the bombing of German cities got lost amid the play's absurd contention that the 1943 plane crash that killed Gen. Władysław Sikorski, the Free Polish leader, was actually a hit job ordered by Churchill. Mr. Hochhuth was influenced in peddling this nonsense by his friend David Irving, the sometime historian and now prominent Holocaust denier. Liberals who supported the "Soldiers" production in 1967 would probably be less keen to be seen promoting Mr. Irving's conspiracy theories nowadays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may also be doubted whether there is much demand for a revival of Howard Brenton's "The Churchill Play" (1974). In it, Mr. Brenton sought to pin his perception that Britain was heading toward a police state on what he regarded as the invidious myth of Churchill's greatness and the lie of British wartime unity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The creator of "Three Days in May," Mr. Brown, shows himself to be very different from Messrs. Hochhuth and Brenton. Rather than treat a dead statesman as a useful dummy with which to practice the ventriloquism of modern discontents, the playwright has limited himself to bringing dramatic illumination to past events he has troubled himself to properly research.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some may wonder whether the effort to accurately portray five aging men sitting around the War Cabinet table makes for great theater, though the reviews have generally been favorable. For the most part, this attempt to render truth rather than make-believe on a West End stage certainly deserves to be applauded. The accusation that the playwright has revealed nothing of substance about the political power-play between Churchill and the senior members of his cross-party coalition government that could not have been gleaned from the work of any serious historian writing on the subject during the past 30 years misses the point. The fact that the play's depiction of events has surprised critics and public alike ably demonstrates how good drama reaches audiences that even excellent historians struggle to touch.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the heart of those War Cabinet discussions and of Mr. Brown's script is the divide between the resilient prime minister and his foreign secretary, Lord Halifax. The latter—seeing the peril Britain is in if it fights on without allies—argues that an appeal should be sent to Mussolini to see if he can broker an agreement with Hitler that would allow Britain to extract itself from the war—which had started in September 1939—on terms that would not compromise its fundamental sovereignty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The seeming prospect of almost the entire British Expeditionary Force being wiped out or taken prisoner as the German Army advances toward the English Channel weighs in Halifax's favor. With the two Labour Party members of the War Cabinet prepared to fight on but politically out of their depth, Churchill realizes that he has to appear to take seriously his foreign secretary's proposal not only to prevent Halifax's damaging resignation but also that of Churchill's predecessor as prime minister, Neville Chamberlain, who is still in the War Cabinet and as leader of the Conservative Party could bring the government down and sue for peace.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having read the critical War Cabinet minutes and also the private papers of its participants, I can verify the basic accuracy of Mr. Brown's portrayal. Necessarily, he has had to invent the dialogue in two tête-à-têtes Churchill has with Halifax and Chamberlain. I was not convinced that in reality Chamberlain would have conceded to Churchill that signing the Munich Pact with Hitler in 1938 was an error—a point upon which Chamberlain remained stubborn in his diary and family correspondence despite the policy's ultimate failure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elsewhere, however, Mr. Brown presents an authentically nuanced picture of Halifax's not dishonorable reasoning for seeking the soft option. Most compellingly paradoxical of all, this play demonstrates how it was that the old appeaser, Chamberlain, ended up playing such a pivotal role in supporting Churchill's insistence that "nations which went down fighting rose again, but those which surrendered tamely were finished."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only does "Three Days in May" end up showing, once again, Churchill's greatness in the moment of deadliest peril, but it even demonstrates how those among his colleagues who wobbled were far more complex than the well-worn caricatures would have us believe. Given the constraints of dramatic representation, that is no small achievement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Stewart is the author of "Burying Caesar: The Churchill-Chamberlain Rivalry"(Overlook).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copyright 2011 Dow Jones &amp; Company, Inc.

Last play of the trip was the musical "Legally Blonde". You might ask why ? We attended the Olivier Awards 2011 and this musical won - awards and the sympathy of the people. It was so great to see the winning actress.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I thought it would be a good end to see something funny and entertaining - so Legally Blonde was in the schedule. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The half price tickets costs still 40 euro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;everybody in the audience was excited , specially the young girls. Of course everybody knows the story and so he fun began. &lt;br /&gt;Instead from the original actress (she won the Olivier Award) is now a other girl Elle. In my experience is she too old - sorry.&lt;br /&gt;ans I guess not so energetic but after  while you get use to her and the musical.&lt;br /&gt;Looking back I cant remember a hit song. Some songs are more fun than the others, but no - no real hit here. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ANway here is a review from Michael Billington (The Guardian) - but from 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Legally Blonde the Musical&lt;br /&gt;Savoy, London&lt;br /&gt;3 / 5&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is, of course, preposterous: an LA fashion student conquers Harvard law school and becomes a courtroom star. But, for all its absurdity, I found this Broadway musical infinitely more enjoyable than the 2001 Hollywood movie on which it is based.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Legally Blonde the Musical&lt;br /&gt;Savoy,&lt;br /&gt;London&lt;br /&gt;Until 23 May&lt;br /&gt;Box office: &lt;br /&gt;0844 871 7687&lt;br /&gt;It is a piece of pure pop-kitsch that, in Jerry Mitchell's production, exists on a level of bubble-headed fantasy that has no connection with reality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who have missed the movie franchise, the premise is simple enough. Elle Woods is a fashion merchandising major suddenly dumped by her beau who wants someone more "serious".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, clutching her little chihuahua, she gains entrance to Harvard law school, where she is initially mocked for her pink outfits and ditzy style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, after reading a book or two, she's accepted as an intern by a top lawyer who's defending a fitness guru in a murder trial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using her fashion expertise to crack the prosecution case, Elle is transformed into an American equivalent of George Carman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even allowing for the goofiness of the story, there are things that stick in the craw.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the score by Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin improves as it goes along, it begins with a screeching evocation of sorority life that made me think back wistfully to the seductive choric opening of a 60s show like Bye Bye Birdie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heather Hach's book also patronisingly assumes that Harvard professors are gullible jerks and its students militant snobs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the story's fashion fetish is pushed to ridiculous lengths: there's a bizarre moment when Elle's one postgrad friend is given a makeover in which his perfectly decent cords are swapped for a trendy, loose-fitting suit that makes him look like the skeleton in someone's closet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's unintentionally absurd. But where the musical succeeds is in heightening the story's comedy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sub-plot, in which Elle comes to the aid of a lovelorn manicurist, is much sparkier than in the movie: partly because the hand-merchant is turned into a woozy Celtic romantic and partly because her stud-like rescuer, who show-stoppingly announces: "I've got a package", is sufficiently Irish to justify an outbreak of Riverdance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the silliness of the courtroom scene is enhanced by having the sexual preferences of the defendant's pool guy turned into a big production number with everyone inquiring: "Is he gay or European?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sheridan Smith as Elle is also far more vivacious than Reese Witherspoon. Smith is perky, trim, and sings and dances excellently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But her true star quality lies in her sense of mischief, which I first noticed when she was a teenager appearing with the National Youth Music Theatre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blessed with the long upper lip of a natural comic, Smith sails buoyantly through the show with a radiant smile as if warning us not to take it too seriously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Even the character's transformation from Bel Air princess, claiming "Simon Cowell is our neighbour", to judicial wizard is played less as if it were a feminist statement than a piece of ­haphazard make-believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mitchell's choreography also gives the show a lift and there is good support from Alex Gaumond as Elle's campus ally, Jill Halfpenny as the messed-up manicurist, and Chris Ellis-Stanton as the hilariously macho messenger boy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's worth adding that the producers, breaking with first-night custom, invited critics to a choice of previews.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can only report that the predominantly female audience with whom I saw the show seemed to be having a whale of a time and did not give a damn about the fact that the musical is little more than a nonsensical fairytale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;© 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.

No doubt about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when the audience winces or even feels the temptation to want to look away during the compelling unfolding of events in Chicago Shakepeare Theater's riveting production of "The Madness of George III."&lt;br /&gt;These natural temptations serve as further proof of the sheer brilliance of the performance by three-time Tony Award nominee actor Harry Groener in the title role of a monarch on the verge of mental collapse at a time when medical science had little to offer the treatment of physical ailments, let alone, abnormalities of the intellect and reasoning.&lt;br /&gt;Masterfully written by Alan Bennett, the Laurence Olivier and Tony Award-winning playwright of "The History Boys," this three-hour, one intermission dramatic masterpiece is directed by Penny Metropulos and runs through June 12 at the Courtyard Theater at Navy Pier.&lt;br /&gt;Edge of the seat intrigue and amazingly ideal production values result in a story that quickly seems to swirl about as the audience is on the edge of their seats feeling compassion, confusion, sympathy and even moments of humor while absorbing this fascinating time of history.&lt;br /&gt;"The Madness of George III" explores one of the most politically charged periods of Great Britain's history into a surprisingly heartfelt human story about loss-of mind, body and power.&lt;br /&gt;The 13 Colonies of the "New America" have just been lost as King George III descends into madness and is forced to submit to his doctors' myriad 18th-century medical treatments, his personal and political affiliations are threatened.&lt;br /&gt;Watching the descent of his father are his two sons, the thoroughly entertaining Richard Baird as the Prince of Wales and impish actor Alex Weisman as his brother the Duke of York.&lt;br /&gt;But at the core of this story of royal intrigue are the King's relationships with his devoted Queen Charlotte, played by the ever-amazing Ora Jones and his closest advisers, who endure uncertainty as England's ruler struggles to remain in control of his own person and his government.&lt;br /&gt;Readers might recall Bennett also received an Academy Award nomination for his 1994 cinematic adaptation of "The Madness of George III," which won the Academy Award for Best Art Direction, and starred the late Nigel Hawthorne as King George III and Helen Mirren as Queen Charlotte.&lt;br /&gt;Actor William Pitt is a strong and encaptivating stage force playing the prime minister torn between serving the people, his government and a ruler who has left a lasting impact on himself and many others.&lt;br /&gt;Other members of this incredible, capable cast include Kevin Gudahl as Captain Fitzroy, David Lively as Thurlow, Brad Armacost as Dr. Baker, Patrick Clear as Dr. Warren, William Dick as Dr. Pepys, James Newcomb as Dr. Willis, Steven Pringle as Papandiek and Patrice Egleston as Lady Pembroke.&lt;br /&gt;And look for South Holland native and actor Kevin Cox, delivering an amusing and carefully balanced performance as Braun, one of the king's footmen.&lt;br /&gt;Scenic Designer William Bloodgood provides a perfect, transforming set for the story to emerge, while the costume design by Susan E.

To prepare for his role as the king in CST's The Madness of George III, he read seven books—including one focused on the king’s 15 children. Or was it 16? Either way, he says, “If you look at the dates, that’s almost one a year!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alan Bennett’s 1991 play hews to the historical record, right down to the three bumpers of spa water George III drinks at Cheltenham, Groener says, in an effort to cure what ails him—probably porphyria, a disease discovered a century later. Cycling through all the character’s inexplicable, excoriating physical and mental afflictions, this Tony-nominated veteran of Broadway, television, and film manages to establish the character’s bedrock decency.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“George III has been demonized,” Groener says, “made into the crazy king who happened to be crazy during the American Revolution. But no, this was way after that, in the winter of 1788, 1789. The fact that they lost the colonies was something he could not bear till the day he died. Parliament was what he had trouble with. He wasn’t the one who said about the colonies, ‘Oh, they’re just misbehaving, treat them like children and give them a spanking and let’s not hear anymore about it.’ There are references to him saying, ‘Is there any way that we can resolve some of the grievances?’”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The so-called mad king, Groener says, “wanted to set an example to the country—a moral example, a religious example: be good, be honest, be honorable. Be true to your wife, monogamous—and he was.” Groener describes the king’s relationship with the German-born Queen Charlotte (a wonderfully warm Ora Jones) as “sweet, because it isn’t the norm, right? You get married, you don’t necessarily love the person, but your duty is to marry and have children to continue the line. Once you’ve done that, and have a few sons, you’re more or less done.” Not George III, apparently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nattering on about his favorite subject, Groener says: “He was very well educated, of course, but he also educated himself. He loved going to talk to the farmers, he loved talking about agriculture, of course he loved pigs—he loved pigs! He could exhaust you because he was so energetic and could just talk and talk and talk about ANY subject. This was before he was ill. When he was ill he would talk for hours and hours and hours. Some of it was nonsense, some of it wasn’t. And he was aware of the fact that something was going terribly wrong. He did hallucinate. The physical symptoms started first, and then they went to affect his mind.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We can all sympathize with the pain this person is going through,” says Groener. “And I think we can all relate to the caretaking theme. Penny Metropulos, our director—both of us were very, very well aware. She’s going through it now with her husband and her mother-in-law, and my wife and I’ve just gone through years of it, with friends and with our parents. I’m sure that at least 25 percent of the audience, if not more, on any given night are going through that at this very moment. The dealing with this person who’s becoming incontinent, and no one was equipped to deal with that—certainly not Charlotte, certainly not the sons. It was left to the doctors, the equerries, to deal with this man and his condition.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I loved reading about this, it really is fascinating,” says Groener. “A lot of it, you just have it in the background, it’s peripheral—you can’t play it, but you just have it back there, and it grounds you, so that when you look at these people you have a little bit more information about who that actor represents. For me it just gives it more weight, it colors it more, it fills in the blanks.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-7452209466148297328?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/7452209466148297328/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/05/csts-madness-of-george-iii.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/7452209466148297328'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/7452209466148297328'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/05/csts-madness-of-george-iii.html' title='CST&apos;s  - The Madness of George III'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dOZrRFfG7x0/TeFvJcEgOVI/AAAAAAAAAeM/fatmktxVuuQ/s72-c/Harry%2BGroener.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-4576657887736140590</id><published>2011-05-25T11:15:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-25T11:23:39.975-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Outgoing Tide'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Skokie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Northlight'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rondi Reed'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John Mahoney'/><title type='text'>Outgoing Tide on the Northlight Theatre in Skokie</title><content type='html'>Critics are raving about The Outgoing Tide! - and they are right. &lt;br /&gt;We were at the reading last year (not with Rondi Reed) and it was already great. Deanna Dunagan was suberb and we hope to see the result later. now this year we really made it. And it was great. A sad but beautiful play. &lt;br /&gt;We had the chance for a small talk with the director B.J.Jones. He was very friendly and pleased that we came back a year later. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since we also met chris jones and hedi weiss during the symposium here are the reviews: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Outgoing Tide' at Northlight: &lt;br /&gt;Play about end-of-life issues shows Mahoney at his finest&lt;br /&gt;by Chris Jones&lt;br /&gt;Chicago Tribune&lt;br /&gt;May 24, 2011&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;★★★½&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gunner, the memory-challenged central character in Bruce Graham's new play "The Outgoing Tide," is slowly losing his grip on the ebbs and flows of life. But whereas it must be tempting to play an elderly man suffering from the onset of Alzheimer's, or severe dementia, as a timid, nervous fellow, there is not a hint of that in John Mahoney.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Mahoney - whose performance in director BJ Jones' superb world-premiere production is, I think, the best work I've ever seen him do on stage - understands that the agony of suffering from progressive memory loss is not best reflected theatrically through trepidation and confusion. On the contrary, it is best expressed through strength. Only then do we understand what is being lost.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;And thus, in a display of robustness that one does not typically associate with this most genial of actors, Mahoney shows us a proud, flinty man for whom the loss of lucidity is entirely intolerable. It is an exceptionally moving performance that hones in on one thing that family members dealing with loved ones in this all-too-common situation too little understand: the importance of dignity and personal pride.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"The Outgoing Tide," which is set on the shore of Chesapeake Bay, is, at its core, at exploration of how such a man as Mahoney's Gunner - forceful, well-prepared, a father, a husband, a kidder - can live with a seriously diminished mental capacity, and whether he is within his rights to not want to live with it at all. It is a very tightly focused piece about a family of three. Rondi Reed plays Peg, Gunner's earnest, straight-talking wife, and Thomas J. Cox plays his son. Events take place on a day when Gunner has called up his son and asked him to visit. Gunner wants to tell him about a plan to provide more for his family, and also to put himself out of his own increasing misery.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;If you're in anything approaching this situation - with your parents, partner, or self - I think you'll instantly recognize how Graham zeroes in on recognizable truths.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There is the leadership vacuum that occurs when a powerful patriarch can no longer remember to wear his pants. And Cox carefully shows us the travails that come when a mild, only moderately successful middle-aged man must suddenly assert himself with his far stronger father, a relationship that is clarified through flashbacks that Jones interweaves beautifully into the action. There is the way that your parents' aging often hits you when you're least prepared to deal with it; you're stuck, perhaps, in a stressed-out slump of diminished career expectations and dealing with kids and a troubled marriage of your own. There are those tantalizing moments of normalcy, when you convince yourself that things are getting better or, at least, no worse. And, most moving of all, there is the impact of an aging parent on his or her spouse and the fundamental changes that take place, rarely for the better, in a relationship that may stretch back 50 years or more.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Which brings me to Reed. This is a quiet performance that's wholly the equal of the extraordinary work being done by Mahoney - and by Cox, for that matter. But there's something in its reticence, its truly agonizing reticence, that has been living with me since. As penned by Graham, Peg would rather get up from the table whenever anything being said around that table is painful. As she bustles around, rarely looking anyone in the eye, Reed submerges her famously forceful personality inside a woman whom we see, over a couple of hours of stage traffic, must finally try and face something. It is quite something to watch.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gunner's desire not to live in a reduced way sends this play off into the thorny debates surrounding many end-of-life issues, which, in the final analysis, I find less interesting than the nuanced and very personal crises being forged by these actors. The play needs, I suppose, the dramatic tension posed by Gunner threatening to do one final, all-enveloping thing. But I confess to some resistance to that; in real life, when we are faced with the possibility of such loss, our tendency is to try and delay or soften it, rather than treat it as an all-or-nothing issue. That human impulse gets short shrift here in the interests of dramatic stakes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;But in terms of acting and directing, nothing whatsoever gets short shrift. This is a trio of towering performances, made all the more intense by the sense that any tower can, eventually, be toppled.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Read the review on chicagotribune.com&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xxxxxx&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two Tony winners, perfectly paired in ‘The Outgoing Tide'&lt;br /&gt;BY HEDY WEISS&lt;br /&gt;Chicago Sun-Times&lt;br /&gt;May 24, 2011&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;HIGHLY RECOMMENDED&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There is a special timbre to an audience's laughter of recognition, and it was fully audible throughout Sunday's performance of "The Outgoing Tide," the Bruce Graham play now in its world premiere at Northlight Theatre.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;There also is a special sort of pleasure that infuses a production in which two veteran actors, who have long since put a high gloss on their craft, get to play opposite each other. And you certainly can feel that as John Mahoney and Rondi Reed, each a Tony Award winner, give an informal master class in acting as they play a couple that has been married for 50 years and is now trying to negotiate the volatile currents of the end game.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;The storyline in Graham's play is an increasingly familiar one these days as people live longer and must deal with the onset of Alzheimer's and other care-intensie diseases. There are decisions to be made - by the afflicted person who still can make them, by the aging but healthy spouse who clearly will need help caring for a deteriorating partner, and/or by the adult children of such a couple - a baby boomer already in full midlife mode. And invariably that classic question will arise: Whose life is it, anyway?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Graham has crafted a skillful, punchy piece that careens expertly between the painful and the comic, features a number of laugh-out-loud one liners (delivered with equal aplomb by Mahoney and Reed), and very deftly incorporates some elements of surprise. And director BJ Jones, along with the ideally cast Thomas J. Cox (whose wiry build and gaunt face suggests he easily could be Mahoney's son), captures the play's shifting moods ideally, putting its many other concisely limned themes (the father-son relationship, the plight of the only child, generational shifts in attitudes about marriage), into sharp relief.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Set on the patio of a wood shingle cottage on Chesapeake Bay (Brian Sidney Bembridge's handsome architectural set is down payment worthy), the play begins as Jack (Cox), pays a visit to his "old school" Irish Catholic parents, and finds himself caught in the middle of their opposing choices.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Gunner (Mahoney), well aware he is losing his mental faculties, is fiercely resistant to the sort of assisted living facility his exhausted and frightened wife, Peg (Reed), wants to move into. And he has his own dramatic alternative plan in mind - one that would insure the futures of both his wife (with whom he has a loving but prickly relationship), and his son (a father of three, now in the process of a divorce). As Gunner puts it, he has "loose ends" to tie up, and he knows time is running out.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Mahoney, whippet thin, fast-talking and sly, expertly captures the brutal frustration inherent in advancing Alzheimer's, while also suggesting the innate irascibility and cruelty Gunner was capable of as a younger man. Reed is wonderfully transformed in this role - determined and feisty, but softer than usual, and lighter of voice, so that she truly suggests Gunner's youthful emory of her as his working class Grace Kelly. And Cox deftly suggests that Jack is very much the product of his parents' long-running emotional tug of war.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Read the review at suntimes.com&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-4576657887736140590?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/4576657887736140590/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/05/outgoing-tide-on-northlight-theatre-in.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/4576657887736140590'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/4576657887736140590'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/05/outgoing-tide-on-northlight-theatre-in.html' title='Outgoing Tide on the Northlight Theatre in Skokie'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-6421206673412537155</id><published>2011-05-25T10:41:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-25T10:42:40.585-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lane Davies'/><title type='text'>Tennessee Shakespeare Festival</title><content type='html'>The Tennessee Shakespeare Festival is at a critical juncture.

What if the past fifty years of Chicago theater have been not just fun and exciting but actually constitute the equivalent of Elizabethan England or post-Civil War New York–that is, an instance of the ultimate flowering of the art form?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s precisely the theory behind Columbia College Chicago’s decision to host a scholarly symposium on what we’re all right in the middle of.  “Chicago: Theatre Capital of America–Past, Present, Future,” scheduled for May 18-21, will bring together scholars from across the country to debate how the Chicago theater renaissance got its start in the late 1950s, what factors caused it to flourish, how influential Chicago theater has been on the art as practiced around the world, and what will be necessary to keep it alive and well and living in our back yard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The scholars–from Harvard, the University of British Columbia and the Rose Bruford College of Theatre and Performance in London, among many others–will share panels with Chicago theater practitioners. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The presenters’ roster is a who’s who of Chicago theater, from Martha Lavey of Steppenwolf to Terry McCabe of City Lit to Paul Barosse and other members of the late lamented Practical Theatre Company, which dissolved when its players were swept en masse onto Saturday Night Live.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Panels will address the question whether Chicago’s legacy of African-American theater actually outstrips that of the Harlem Renaissance; the role of various training entities, from Second City to Hull House; the varying experiences of playwrights, directors, performers and critics; and on and on. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Says planning committee chair Albert Williams, a Columbia College faculty member and long-time chief theater critic of the Reader, “There will be discussions of the economics of the industry–Valuing the Art, People First, with [Writers Theatre Artistic Director] Michael Halberstam, [is] also known as Pay Your Actors a Decent Wage.  And [there’s] another panel called Patron Experience, because you’re not just doing [theater] for yourselves but for people who paid money to be there.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Williams stresses that the symposium is open to the public.  “Presuming that people love theater as fans, they will learn a whole lot more about Chicago theater.  They will get to rub elbows with leading theater practitioners in Chicago, and also former Chicago theater professionals who may be coming back.” &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The conference is awaiting confirmation of participation by Chicago veterans such as Joe Mantegna, Regina Taylor and Terry Kinney.  “[Mantegna] said he’d love to do it if it works with his schedule,” said Williams.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further details to come.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-6379665618375218339?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/6379665618375218339/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicago.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6379665618375218339'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6379665618375218339'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/05/chicago.html' title='Chicago'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-5467702776204796714</id><published>2011-05-07T07:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-05-07T07:47:20.221-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chicago'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Olivier Awards 2011'/><title type='text'>More Olivier Awards</title><content type='html'>Hallo, sorry for the lack of my post.

The production will continue in Brooklyn until February 6th. Two-thirds of the tickets for the run had been sold before opening night.  Former US ambassador to Ireland Jean Kennedy Smith, a fan of the Abbey since her years in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" id="hlgFarbe2"  style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;  background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 236, 18); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC99;"&gt;Dublin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC99;"&gt;, called the performance 'really beautiful' and 'so well-acted'. Anne Anderson, Ireland's Ambassador to the United Nations, and writer Colum McCann also attended.  At the opening night party in the theatre, Irish-American philanthropist and chair of the American Ireland Fund Loretta Brennan Glucksman, chief executive of Culture Ireland Eugene Downes and McCann reminisced about the series of informal suppers that led to the Imagine Ireland cultural season, of which the Abbey production is an important part. Niall Burgess, former Irish consul general in New York, and actor Gabriel Byrne, Ireland's cultural ambassador, also attended the suppers.  John Gabriel Borkman tells the story of a disgraced but unrepentant banker who has served years in prison for embezzling his friends' money. 'The spectre of Bernie Madoff looms large,' Mac Conghail said. The play also 'reminds our public here in the US that we might be in some financial and political trouble, that it's not all fiction,' he said.  Board members from the Abbey Theatre Foundation, a new US group still in the process of being formed, attended the opening. 'We have two objectives,' said Mac Conghail. 'To bring the best of Irish actors and Irish theatre to the US. The second is to raise money, because there isn't money left in Ireland.'  Glucksman said she was amazed that a century-old play could be so topical: 'We could put names on it -- which I shan't right now -- but it's in our newspapers every day, the curse of greed just doesn't change and we never learn.'  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" id="hlgFarbe1"  style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;  background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 236, 18); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC99;"&gt;Rickman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC99;"&gt;, Duncan and Kavanagh delivered excellent performances, 'But it is Ms Shaw, an actress of infinite cunning, who walks away with the production,' the New York Times said yesterday, describing the set as a 'snow-piled ice palace'. Shaw plays Borkman's estranged wife, who lives one floor below him and refers to Borkman only as 'himself, the bank manager'.  'Everything about Ms Shaw's Gunhild from her hobbled walk to the way she clasps her stomach, as if trying to contain the pain within -- evokes a soul crippled by years of cancerous confinement,' said the newspaper, which called Shaw 'an expert in the art of festering' and a 'human flame-thrower'.  At the opening night party, Shaw said the Abbey's production of Frank McGuinness's new version of Borkman shows Irish theatre must broaden its horizons. 'The repertoire in Ireland must, must now start to include everything in the 17th century that we forgot,' she said. 'We must start embracing Jacobean plays, Shakespeare plays. It's our century as well.'  The US audience seemed to treat Ibsen's dark tale of a family undone as a comedy, laughing even at the most tragic moments. 'New Yorkers are much more sensitive to irony, and that's what the laughter was about,' said BAM executive producer Joe Melillo.  The Harvey Theatre was created by Peter Brook and Harvey Lichtenstein when they brought Brook's adaptation of the Sanskrit poem the Mahabharata to New York in 1987. Like Brook's Bouffes du Nord in Paris, the Harvey was derelict and has been left in its distressed state, with ceiling frescoes and columns showing its former grandeur.  In &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="highlight" id="hlgFarbe2"  style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial;  background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 236, 18); background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-size:14px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC99;"&gt;Dublin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#FFCC99;"&gt;, the set for Borkman showed a late 19th-century interior. In Brooklyn, antique furniture is placed among snowdrifts on the stage, which extends into the audience.  'This theatre has an extraordinary sense of layers of history,' said Downes.

Costner wolle nicht imSchatten des Briten stehen, so munkelte man. Gelungen ist das nicht.In vielen seiner Filme spielt Rickman die großen Stars an die Wand. Selbst ist er trotzdem nie zumWeltstar geworden. Gestern nun ist der Schauspieler, der zuletzt als Lehrer Severus Snape in den Harry-Potter-Filmen zu sehen war, 65 Jahre alt geworden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rickman gehört zu den Schauspielern, die mit wenigen Gesichtsausdrücken und Augenbewegungen mehr erzählen können als andere mit großen Worten. Mit Bravour spielt er verschlossene, mysteriöse Bösewichte. "Als Schauspieler verurteilst du die Charaktere, die du spielst, nicht", sagte er einmal. Dass er nie den Sprung in die erste Reihe der Hollywood-Stars schaffte, scheint Rickman nicht zu stören. Im Privatleben ist er bescheiden und skandalfrei:Seit mehr als 30 Jahren lebt er in London mit einer Ökonomie-Dozentin und Kommunalpolitikerin zusammen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aufgewachsen in London als eines von vier Kindern einer Arbeiterfamilie, musste Rickman mit acht Jahren den Verlust des Vaters verkraften. Schon während der Schulzeit spielte erTheater, studierte dann aber Grafikdesign und machte das Schauspielen zum Hobby. Nach ein paar Jahren als Grafiker ging er - mit 26 Jahren - an die Schauspielschule. Er wurde zum gefragten Theaterschauspieler, war Ende der 70er Jahre zwei Jahre Mitglied der RoyalShakespeare Company. SeinenDurchbruch auf der Leinwand schaffte er 1988 als Gegenspieler von Bruce Willis in "Stirb langsam". Doch wechselte er immer wieder zurück an die Bühne - auch als Regisseur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Den meisten dürfte er aber als die ambivalenteste Figur der Harry-Potter-Filme bekannt sein: Als Lehrer Severus Snape, der Harry und seine Freunde schikaniert - aber immer wieder dafür sorgt, dass Harry nichts passiert.&lt;br /&gt;dpa&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-6596921279007917149?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/6596921279007917149/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/03/alan-rickman.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6596921279007917149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6596921279007917149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/03/alan-rickman.html' title='Alan Rickman'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-682824828925895032</id><published>2011-03-15T14:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-15T14:41:47.307-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Bilder - The Olivier Awards, Part 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0qEj5jF5EHY/TX_aRcDuVFI/AAAAAAAAAdY/fiKuIQslJho/s1600/IMG_0241.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0qEj5jF5EHY/TX_aRcDuVFI/AAAAAAAAAdY/fiKuIQslJho/s320/IMG_0241.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584422056087147602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Man wartet in der Schlange.

Es gab keine Half-price-Tickets mehr, aber über das Hotel konnte man verbilligte Karten für 27,50 kaufen. Eine Summe, die sich gelohnt hat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hier kurz der Inhalt:&lt;br /&gt;It’s December 1968 and Judy Garland is about to make her comeback… again. In a London hotel room with her young new fiancé at her side, Garland battles with a tornado of drugs and alcohol as she undertakes an exhausting series of concerts at the Talk of the Town to try and reclaim her crown as the greatest talent of her generation. Despite a series of failed marriages and a wrecked Hollywood career, Judy remains a tough, compelling, remarkable woman always armed to the teeth with her legendary razor-sharp wit.&lt;br /&gt;With a breathtaking performance by Tracie Bennett, supported by a six piece onstage band, the production features Garland’s most memorable songs including The Man That Got Away, Come Rain Or Come Shine, The Trolley Song, and of course Somewhere Over The Rainbow.  (&lt;a href="http://www.endoftherainbowlondon.com/"&gt;End of the Rainbow&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es geht um das späte Leben von Judy Garland und wenn man mehr über ihren Tod erfahren will, kann man auch hier Videos vom Biography-Kanal sehen (englisch)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.anschauenoderauch.net/watch/?v=VcCGc4d2C1M"&gt;Lebenslauf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.anschauenoderauch.net/watch/?v=VcCGc4d2C1M"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Aber zurück zum Stück: &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;it was brilliant. Tracie Bennett plays Judy and sing her songs. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sie kopiert Judys Bewegungen und ihre ganze Art und Weise und dann fügt sie Kleinigkeit hinzu und der Charakter auf der Bühne ist Judy und Tracy. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die kleine Überzeichnung macht das Stück auf. Man ist auf einer Berg und Talfahrt und denkt ab und zu an Charlie Sheen, der das ja auch alles ganz toll findet. Dabei ist der Niedergang und die erniedrigung so sichtbar, dass es weh tut. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Am Ende hat man Mitleid mit ihr und die Hoffnung schwindet als ihr der neue junge Boyfriend die Pillen aufdrängt, damit sie auftreten kann und will. Ein tragisches Ende bahnt sich an. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ganz toll auch der Pianist: Hilton McRae spielt ihn. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Die beiden Darsteller waren auch für den Olivier Award 2011 nominiert, leider haben sie ihn nicht gewonnen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Aber wer in London ist, sollte sich das Stück nicht entgehen lassen. Wir hatten plätze in der ersten Reihe - einfach super.

Hall takes the basic story and, obviously, makes changes, including reducing the number of members of the group and fictionalising the characters, but the play remains true to the historical truth. In a laughter-filled evening, his acutely observed characters present us with an exploration, not just of art and culture, but of class and community, politics and people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;x&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nach einer Vorstellung im Dezember 2009 hatten wir die Gelegenheit mit den Schauspielern zu reden.

McGuinness and actor Alan Rickman daringly pose the question: why shouldn't we be able to sympathise with the banker whose reach exceeded his grasp, just because he was ultimately brought down by scandal? They answer it too: because he is an absurd egomaniacal monster who allowed his greed to divorce him from his humanity. Like Walsh's suitors in Penelope, Borkman sees his fate sealed in real time, the clock literally ticking on the Abbey stage.&lt;br /&gt;As the hit production ran into the winter, and the national crisis outside deepened into deadlines for Irish sovereignty, it seemed to tick for all of us.

Ob das in einem Film möglich sein wird ? Hier ein Artikel aus der NZZ vom 13.1.2011.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Die Magie der Marionetten&lt;br /&gt;Ein Bühnenerfolg, der kaum Vergleiche kennt - «War Horse» in London &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;«War Horse» begann seinen Siegeszug als Kinderbuch; gerade wurde der Stoff von Hollywood-Regisseur Steven Spielberg verfilmt. Dazwischen liegt die Theaterinszenierung. Sie ist noch bis&lt;br /&gt;Februar 2012 am Londoner West End zu sehen.&lt;br /&gt;Es war einmal. So könnte die Geschichte von Michael Morpurgos Buch «War Horse» beginnen, eine fast märchenhafte Erfolgsstory. Angeregt durch die Erzählungen eines alten Kriegsveteranen in seiner Stammkneipe, schrieb der Kinderbuchautor Michael Morpurgo die Geschichte eines Pferdes im Ersten Weltkrieg - aus der Perspektive des Pferdes. Anfang der achtziger Jahre erschien das Buch, wurde für den Whitbread Prize nominiert, ohne zu gewinnen, und verkaufte sich auch in der Folge nur mässig. «Es wurde in ein oder zwei Sprachen übersetzt und blieb nur dank der Geduld und Unterstützung meiner Verleger im Druck», erzählte Morpurgo dem «Independent». Das hat sich inzwischen geändert. Zufälle über Zufälle Zufällig suchte das National Theatre in London Jahre später geeignetes Material für eine Truppe südafrikanischer Marionettenspieler, und zufällig geriet Morpurgos Buch in die Hände des Regisseurs Tom Morris. Danach kam die «War Horse»-Erfolgs-Lawine ins Rollen - und noch ist kein Ende in Sicht: Nick Stafford schrieb eine Bühnenversion, die im Oktober 2007 am National Theatre Premiere hatte und so gefeiert wurde, dass sie, ans Londoner West End transferiert, bis zum November vergangenen Jahres von 878 500 Personen gesehen wurde und im März am Broadway Premiere haben wird. Ein weiterer Zufall führte die Hollywood-Produzentin Kathleen Kennedy in eine der Aufführungen, die sie so begeisterte, dass sie Steven Spielberg, dessen langjährige Mitarbeiterin sie ist, darauf aufmerksam machte. Der Oscar-Preisträger reiste nach London, sah das Stück, fing auf der Stelle Feuer, erwarb die Filmrechte und war sechs Monate später vor Ort in England, wo die Dreharbeiten im vergangenen Herbst abgeschlossen wurden. Die eigentlich für August vorgesehene Premiere des Films wurde auf Ende Dezember verschoben, um ihn bestens für das Oscar-Rennen 2012 zu positionieren. «War Horse» ist tatsächlich reinstes Spielberg-Material: die rührende Geschichte eines englischen Knaben und seines Pferdes, das im Ersten Weltkrieg zum Dienst an der Westfront eingesetzt wird. Der Knabe, obwohl erst 16, meldet sich zum Kriegsdienst und macht sich auf die Suche nach seinem Pferd. Dabei erlebt er die Schrecken des Krieges, lernt aber auch, dass der Feind&lt;br /&gt;-gelegentlich - gutmenschliche Züge trägt. Wie durch ein Wunder findet er das Tier gegen Ende des Krieges, als er schon längst nicht mehr daran glaubt. Die humanistische Botschaft, die sentimental tiefenwirksame Geste mit direktem Appell an die Gefühle der Zuschauer, der Wunderglaube, die Kinderperspektive und in den letzten Jahren verstärkt das grosse historische Panorama - «War Horse» enthält alle Bestandteile eines typischen Spielberg-Films. Kein Wunder, dass der kommerziell erfolgreichste zeitgenössische Kinoregisseur dafür angeblich alle anderen geplanten Projekte, darunter eine Filmbiografie über George Gershwin, erst einmal zurückgestellt haben soll. Während sich das Filmpublikum auf Spielbergs technisches Raffinement und auf seine mirakulösen Arrangements einstellen kann, besticht die Londoner Theateraufführung, die unterdessen bis zum Februar 2012 am West End weiterläuft - derzeit am New London Theatre , durch einen ganz anderen visuellen Zaubertrick: Sie arbeitet mit lebensgrossen Pferdemarionetten aus Bambus, die von jeweils drei Puppenspielern bewegt werden. Die Mitglieder der Handspring Puppet Company arbeiten mit einer solchen Geschicklichkeit, dass zwei Effekte eintreten: Sie lassen ihre eigene Existenz völlig vergessen und ahmen die Bewegungen echter Pferde so elegant nach, dass sie die Aufmerksamkeit des gesamten Publikums auf sich ziehen - und dabei die hart am Kitsch vorbeischrammenden Effekte des Textes völlig vergessen lassen. Mehrwert der Auslassung Dabei deuten die so sensibel beweglichen Pferdefiguren - im Design von Basil Jones und Adrian Kohler - den Körperbau der Tiere nur in Umrissen, fast skeletthaft an. Auch Rae Smiths Bühnenbild lebt vom Mehrwert der Auslassung. Die Bühne ist schwarz und kommt fast ohne Requisiten aus. Einmal nur erscheint ein ebenfalls manuell bewegter, wie die Pferdefiguren halb durchsichtiger Panzer auf der Szene; des Weiteren ist eine Reihe abgezehrter Kriegspferde zeichenhaft erkennbar nur Kopf und Rücken sind ausgestaltet. Wie ein Ausriss aus einem Skizzenbuch - von dem im Stück auch die Rede ist ragt ein überdimensionaler Papierfetzen in den Bühnenhintergrund. Darauf werden im Stil von blassen Bleistiftzeichnungen Schauplätze und Daten projiziert. Die Schauspieler, die während der langen Laufzeit des Stücks öfters wechselten, kommen gegen die Magie der Marionetten kaum an. Aber darum geht es in dieser Inszenierung (Regie: Tom Morris und Marianne Elliott), die auf die Verführungskraft des Visuellen und die Anmut der Gliederpuppen setzt, auch nicht. Ganz sicher wird Steven Spielberg nicht mit Marionetten spielen. Spannend ist, was dann von «War Horse" übrig bleibt.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-8207821894101671278?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/8207821894101671278/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/01/war-horse.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/8207821894101671278'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/8207821894101671278'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2011/01/war-horse.html' title='War Horse'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-6096655652800242102</id><published>2010-12-05T07:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-05T07:56:32.740-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alan Rickman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dublin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ibsen'/><title type='text'>Is it OK to laugh at Ibsen?</title><content type='html'>Source: http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/theatreblog/2010/oct/25/ibsen-laughing-funny-seriously&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; "&gt;We have tended to treat the Norwegian master's plays as solemn dramas, but have we been taking him too seriously?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; "&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;A handful of times during Alan Rickman's performance as &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2010/oct/15/john-gabriel-borkman-review" title="John Gabriel Borkman" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 86, 137); text-decoration: none; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;John Gabriel Borkman&lt;/a&gt;, the audience at Dublin's Abbey theatre lets out a laugh. Sometimes it is because of references to dubious banking practices, which seem to us newly topical, but the rest of the time it is because of Borkman's casual misogyny. In the translation by Frank McGuinness, his lines include: "If there are good women, we don't know them," and: "I suppose it's reasonable to see things as you do. You are a woman."&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;I've seen this kind of reaction to Ibsen plays before and I'm never very certain about it. If the audience regards Borkman's opinions as funny, can it also take him seriously as a tragic hero, even a flawed one? Society has changed so much in the past century that it is hard to imagine a man conceiving these ideas, still less expressing them in public. By contrast, Ibsen's own audiences, a decade or two before the suffragettes, must have included those who believed "one woman is no better than another". For them, Borkman would have been less a reactionary oaf than a man genuinely caught out by society's shifting values.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;It is still possible to express this today. In the &lt;a href="http://www.dundeereptheatre.co.uk/index.php?pid=2&amp;amp;subid=211" title="fine production" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 86, 137); text-decoration: none; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;fine production&lt;/a&gt; of Ibsen's A Doll's House just opened at Dundee Rep, Neil McKinven plays Torvald Helmer with great compassion. He is a genial, likeable sort, whose only flaw is a preoccupation with work. It means that when he expresses his patrician values, principally the idea that his wife Nora is nothing more than an extension of himself, we find them disturbing but also credible. We don't laugh because, even though we don't share his worldview, we can understand it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;But have I got it wrong? The other evening, I made a similar point to Jeremy Raison, outgoing director of Glasgow's Citizens theatre, and he suggested Ibsen planted the laughs deliberately. In my review of Raison's production of Ibsen's &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2009/may/19/review-ghosts-citizens-glasgow" title="Ghosts" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 86, 137); text-decoration: none; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;Ghosts&lt;/a&gt;, I wrote that Pastor Manders's "homilies about marital fidelity" produced "derisory laughter", a response the director believes the playwright intended. In Norway, he said, they stage Ibsen more as domestic comedy than the weighty drama we assume here.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;In &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2010/oct/19/the-lady-from-the-sea-review" title="her review" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 86, 137); text-decoration: none; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;her review&lt;/a&gt; of Ibsen's The Lady from the Sea in Manchester this week, Lyn Gardner refers to the play's "sly humour" and it is certainly true that director Lee Breuer managed to express Ibsen's radicalism while having a great deal of fun in &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/stage/2007/aug/27/theatre.edinburghfestival2007" title="Mabou Mines' Dollhouse" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 86, 137); text-decoration: none; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;Mabou Mines DollHouse&lt;/a&gt;, a production with an Amazon Nora and a dwarf Torvald as well as lots of silly Scandinavian accents. It is hard to imagine that's what Ibsen had in mind, but he might have appreciated the lighter touch.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;If he is taken too seriously, he would not be alone. Chekhov, for example, suffered particularly from our humour bypass when his plays arrived in Britain. The evidence of the first UK production of The Cherry Orchard in 1911 is that it was worthy but dull, much like the subsequent stagings of The Seagull and Uncle Vanya. It wasn't until a 1925 revival of The Cherry Orchard that the penny dropped. "Once we knew we were allowed to laugh, of course, everything fell into place and took on meaning," recalled the critic WA Darlington.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;Even on our own turf, we can find ourselves getting overly po-faced. We tend to treat the tragedies of Shakespeare as though every second had to be laden with gloom. Acknowledging the comedy, however, can unleash waves of energy and build a poignant contrast to the seriousness. It is something that often happens in the democratic space of the &lt;a href="http://www.shakespeares-globe.org/" title="Globe" style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; color: rgb(0, 86, 137); text-decoration: none; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;Globe&lt;/a&gt; and it happened, for example, in Malachi Bogdanov's very funny 1998 production of Richard III which used a kindergarten setting both for comic effect and to make a point about the immature nature of the king's brutality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 13px; margin-left: 0px; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; "&gt;So if I grumble about people laughing at Ibsen, am I being a pedant, like theatre's answer to Network Rail apologising for the wrong kind of humour in the stalls, or are some jokes better than others?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-6096655652800242102?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/6096655652800242102/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/12/is-it-ok-to-laugh-at-ibsen.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6096655652800242102'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6096655652800242102'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/12/is-it-ok-to-laugh-at-ibsen.html' title='Is it OK to laugh at Ibsen?'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-4861170235112936857</id><published>2010-11-22T22:55:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-22T23:11:39.072-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harry Potter'/><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Entzauberte Wirklichkeit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Harry Potter - Der verfilmte erste Teil des letzten Bandes kürzt den Hokuspokus und schärft dieCharaktere&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;W as in "Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen" 2000 noch als kindgerechtes,verspieltes Abenteuer begann, ist sieben Filme und zehn Jahre später zur veritablen Tragödie geworden: Der Sturz von Harrys Mentor Albus Dumbledore inden Tod, das dramatische Finale des sechsten Teils, taucht nun in der Verfilmung von Joanne K. Rowlings "Harry Potter und die Heiligtümer des Todes"zu Beginn als Erinnerungsbild wiederauf: Dumbledore, der für seinen Schüler Harry Potter und dessen Freunde Hermine Granger und Ron Weasley bis herein Garant dafür war, dass trotz aller Gefährdungen durch den bösartigen Lord Voldemort das Gute letztlich doch die Oberhand behalten muss, ist den dunklen Mächten zum Opfer gefallen. Er hinterlässt drei Jugendliche, die zwar wissen, welche Aufgabe sie erfüllen müssen, um Voldemort zu entmachten,die aber keine Ahnung haben, wie sie diese Aufgabe meistern sollen. Und die für ihren Widerstand gegen Voldemorts totalitäre Machtbestrebungen einenhohen Preis zahlen müssen. Der Film beginnt mit Familienszenen, die illustrieren, wie sehr die Normalität für die Freunde aus den Fugen geratenist: Harrys Verwandte ergreifen dieFlucht; Ron und seine Familie müssenjederzeit mit Attacken von VoldemortsAnhängern rechnen, und Hermine Granger belegt ihre Eltern mit einem "Obliviate"-Zauber, der ihr Gedächtnis manipuliert: Die Kamera zeigt, wie Hermines Abbild aus den Familienfotos in derWohnung der Grangers verschwindet,als hätten ihre Eltern nie eine Tochter gehabt.Für Zuschauer, die die Bücher vonJoanne K. Rowling nicht gelesen haben, mag dies - wie noch manche andere Facette der Verfilmung - kryptisch bleiben;die "Potter"-Fans, also die eigentliche Zielgruppe, werden jedoch den Schmerz der jungen Zauberin lebhaftnachvollziehen können, die sich dagerade selbst aus dem Leben und der Erinnerung ihrer Eltern auslöscht, damitdiese England verlassen, sich weit weg eine ganz neue Existenz aufbauen und somit sicher sind vor der Rache des dunklen Lords. Denn mit Voldemorts Rache muss Hermine rechnen: Sowohl sie als auch Ronwollen sich dem Terrorregime des dunklen Lords nicht beugen, sondern Harry dabei helfen, die einzige Missionzu erfüllen, durch die Voldemort besiegtwerden könnte: Sie wollen die Horkruxe finden und vernichten, verborgene magische Gegenstände, die Voldemort quasi unbesiegbar machen. Doch wo sind die Horkruxe versteckt, und wiekann man sie zerstören? Die Suche nacheiner Lösung gestaltet sich für die dreiTeenager bald als frustrierend zielloseOdyssee. Dabei sind ihnen die Schergen Voldemorts und des Zaubereiministeriums,das dieser unter seine Kontrollebringt, immer dicht auf den Fersen. Die Entscheidung, die Verfilmung desletzten Bandes der "Potter"-Romane aufzwei Filme zu dehnen, mag zunächstverdächtig nach dem Kalkül von Produzentenund Verleihern klingen, die eineeinträgliche Kuh noch nicht schlachten, sondern mehrfach melken wollen. Sie erweist sich aber als erzählerischer Glücksgriff, von dem auch das Publikumprofitiert: Während man bei der Verfilmung von "Harry Potter und derHalbblutprinz" gegen Ende fast den Eindruckhatte, dass den Machern die Zeit fortlief, weil der filmische Showdowndas dramatische Potenzial der Buchvorlage förmlich verschenkte, haben Drehbuchautor  Steve Kloves und Regisseur David Yates diesmal genug Freiraum, um die Geschichte ohne Hektik zu entwickeln.Erfreulich ist, dass sie diesen Freiraum nicht nur nutzen, um noch mehr Actionund noch mehr Effekte-Gewitter auf die Zuschauer loszulassen, sondern vorallem, um die Figuren und die zwischenmenschliche Dynamik zwischenden Charakteren gebührend auszuloten. Das gilt für treffend umrissene Nebenfiguren- wie etwa den erstmals eingeführten, von Rhys Ifans verkörpertenZeitungsverleger Xenophilius Lovegood-, vor allem aber für die dreijugendlichen Hauptfiguren. So finden Kloves und Yates immer wiederruhige, aber intensive Szenen, umdeutlich zu machen, wie prekär und fragil das emotionale Gleichgewicht zwischenHarry, Hermine und Ron nichtnur durch die Strapazen während ihrer Suchwanderung wird, sondern auch dadurch, dass sich mit dem Erwachsenwerden komplizierte Gefühle, positive wie negative, in die Beziehung des Triosgemischt und aufgestaut haben, die nun ausgerechnet in der Zeit höchster Notdie Stabilität der Freundschaft gefährden. Dass diesmal die Zaubererschule Hogwartsals Handlungsrahmen wegfällt und die Freunde stattdessen einer Reiseausgesetzt werden, bringt insofern nicht nur eine räumliche, sondern auch eine emotionale Dynamik mit sich. Gleichzeitigrückt das Fantasy-Abenteuernäher an die wirkliche Welt: durch die stärkere Einbeziehung "nichtmagischer" Schauplätze, vor allem aber dadurch, dass mit Voldemorts Macht übernahme das "Böse" nicht mehr nur als etwas Magisch-Numinoses erscheint, sondern sich ganz konkret als totalitäres System manifestiert. Natürlich gibt es auch nochdie spektakulären Spannungssequenzen, in denen Harry, Ron und Hermine sichmit gezückten Zauberstäben gegen Flücheund Monster zur Wehr setzen müssen. Die jungen Helden müssen sich überdies mit dem gar nicht so übersinnlichen Schreckbild eines totalitären Machtapparats auseinandersetzen, der sich die Unterdrückung als minderwertig gebrandmarkter Menschen - aller, dienicht "reinblütige" Zauberer sind - auf die Fahnen geschrieben hat. Der Humor, den frühere "Potter"-Teile entfalteten und der oft mit der Lust am magischen Inventar der Zauberer-Welt verbunden war, bleibt angesichts dieser Entwicklungen konsequenterweise weitgehen dauf der Strecke, flackert nur kurz auf, und dann oft als Galgenhumor.Dafür bekommen selbst Figuren wie die Hauselfen mehr "menschliches" Format (was sich auch in der erhöhten Sorgfaltniederschlägt, mit der ihre Mimik animiertwurde). Der ergreifende Tod eines Elfen, ein Romanhöhepunkt, setzt dennauch dramaturgisch stimmig die Zäsur, mit der der erste Teil des "Potter"-Finale sendet. Bleibt zu hoffen, dass diese filmische Herangehensweise auch im zweiten Teil konsequent fortgeführt wird. Teil einsder "Heiligtümer des Todes" ist mit dieser Rezeptur jedenfalls zum bisher stärksten Teil der "Harry Potter"-Filmreihe geworden.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Source: Rheinischer Merkur, 18.11. 2010&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-4861170235112936857?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/4861170235112936857/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/entzauberte-wirklichkeit-harry-potter.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/4861170235112936857'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/4861170235112936857'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/entzauberte-wirklichkeit-harry-potter.html' title=''/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-5159562704009395270</id><published>2010-11-22T03:16:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-22T03:19:57.590-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2006'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Interview'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alan Rickman'/><title type='text'>Set Talk - Alan Rickman (2006)</title><content type='html'>SET TALK&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Autor(en): CHRISTIAN AUST&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Ich war ein echter Spätzünder und gehörte eher zu den Uncoolen" &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ALAN RICKMAN über seine künstlerischen Ambitionen, das London der wilden Sixties und den langen Weg zur Schauspielerei&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Warum haben Sie Kunst studiert?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In jungen Jahren schien mir Schauspieler kein ernsthafter Beruf zu sein.

Ich hingegen gehörte da wohl eher zu den Uncoolen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Malen Sie noch immer?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ja, und ich träume davon, eines Tages in meinem Haus eine große Gemäldegalerie zu eröffnen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: Gala, 02.11.2006 Nr: 45&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-5159562704009395270?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/5159562704009395270/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/set-talk-alan-rickman-2006.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/5159562704009395270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/5159562704009395270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/set-talk-alan-rickman-2006.html' title='Set Talk - Alan Rickman (2006)'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-5404714629593458679</id><published>2010-11-22T03:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2011-04-25T09:48:50.625-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2006'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Das Parfüm'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alan Rickman'/><title type='text'>Alan Rickman - Interview (2006)</title><content type='html'>Parfüm? Das ist nichts für mich! &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt; Alan Rickman über Düfte, Orgien und große Talente &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Autor(en): Christian Renz&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Welches Parfüm benutzen Sie selbst? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Gar keines. Herrendüfte sind nichts für mich. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Aber Sie verschenken doch sicher mal einen Duft?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Früher mal. An meine Freundin. Ich habe aber festgestellt, dass man als Mann keinen Duft für eine Frau kaufen sollte. Der Geruch verändert sich. Was im Laden toll war, roch bei ihr nicht mehr so gut. Ich kaufe nur noch, was mir befohlen wird.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puh, der Mann kann so richtig böse sein. Natürlich nur im Film. Wer Alan Rickman (60) trifft, der lernt einen A zuvorkommenden, humorvollen Menschen kennen. Einen, der Berühmtheit als lästige Nebenerscheinung betrachtet. Dabei kennt ihn (fast) jeder Kinogänger, entweder als Terrorist im ersten "Stirb langsam"-Film oder als Severus Snape aus "Harry Potter" Jetzt veredelt Rickman die Leinwand-Adaption von "Das Parfum".&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Warum mögen Sie Parfüms nicht?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;... bei Frauen schon. Nur auf meiner Haut mag ich es nicht (saugt theatralisch seinen eigenen Geruch in die Nase).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Was ist der betörendste Duft, den Sie jemals gerochen haben?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Ich werde Ihnen jetzt nicht die Antwort geben, die Sie hören wollen (lacht kauzig). Der schönste Duft ist sicher der eines Babys, das gerade gewaschen wurde. Dieser reine Duft der Haut.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Das zentrale Thema von "Das Parfum" ist ein perfekter Geruchssinn. Welches Talent wurden Sie gern besitzen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Klavier spielen. Meine Mutter hat Klavier gespielt. Ich fand das ganz wunderbar. Sie musste aber irgendwann aufhören. Sie war allein erziehend, musste sich darum sorgen, dass wir was zu Essen bekamen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Warum lernen Sie es nicht selbst?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Ich bin sicher, es wird eine Zeit kommen, da uns allen ein Chip eingepflanzt wird. Per Knopfdruck können wir dann Klavier spielen.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;...und bis dahin?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Mir fehlt die Zeit. Da bleibt nur das Genießen. In der Wohnung über uns wohnt eine Konzert-Pianistin. Wenn sie übt, setzen wir uns mit einem Glas Rotwein auf den Balkon und hören zu. Das ist fantastisch.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fantastisch - gutes Stichwort. Bei "Das Parfum gibt es eine Orgienszene...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Es war großartig. Also, ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich jemals in meinem Leben durch eine Menge aus 850 nackten, sich liebenden Leibern gehen würde.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;War nicht die Gefahr groß, ins Pornografische abzugleiten?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Ich bin sehr stolz, dass die Szene eben nicht sexistisch geworden ist. Obwohl alle übereinanderlagen und sich aneinander rieben.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Glauben Sie, dass "Das Parfum" ein Hit wird? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Da bin ich ganz sicher.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In den Harry-Potter-Filmen spielen Sie Severus Snape. Hat diese Erfolgs-Rolle Ihr Leben verändert?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Jede Rolle verändert einen Schauspieler ein kleines bisschen. Die größte Veränderung in meinem Leben war, dass ich überhaupt einen Film gemacht habe. Ich spielte den Bösewicht im ersten "Stirb Langsam"-Film und hatte plötzlich eine Film-Karriere. Ich ging als normaler Zuschauer ins Premieren-Kino und kam als Star heraus, dem der Weg durch die Masse gebahnt werden musste. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Source: Kölner Express Samstag, 09.09.2006 &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-5404714629593458679?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/5404714629593458679/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/alan-rickman-interview-2006.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/5404714629593458679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/5404714629593458679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/alan-rickman-interview-2006.html' title='Alan Rickman - Interview (2006)'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-5567669225626300553</id><published>2010-11-21T01:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-21T02:02:03.726-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='John Gabriel Borkman'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Harry Potter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dublin'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fiona Shaw'/><title type='text'>Harry Potter - Darsteller auf der Bühne - Fiona Shaw</title><content type='html'>Ich konnte Fiona Shaw &amp;amp; Alan Rickman in Dublin auf der Bühne sehen.

Nicht untertänig oder abhängig. Ein selbstständiger Mensch, mit Lebenserfahrung und am Ende seines alten Lebens. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ein besonderes Paar die beiden - gleichwertig. Unabhängig.

Hamm is here played by Owen Roe, but you have to take the programme’s word for it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Concealed by the character’s usual stiff toque and dark glasses, Roe’s warm familiarity is further muffled by a substantial beard, as though restraining all charm for the sake of an overbearing character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would take a lot to soften Hamm, though, whose parents (Des Keogh and Rosaleen Linehan) linger nearby in dustbins, and whose salutation carries distaste for life: “Accursed progenitor!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bradley certainly looks the part, stiffly comic and physically eroded by routine on Eileen Diss’s entombing, dust-grey set, but his generic Irish accent frequently drifts to the north of England.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Endgame is heavily aware of its own artifice, with teasing self-reference to “ham” performers, something “taking its course” or the deep worry of Hamm’s entreaty, “We’re not beginning to . . . to . . . mean something?” – it seems an odd distraction within a work so painstakingly placeless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet Endgame ’s place is now squarely in the canon, revived frequently (by the Gate in particular) if rarely reinterpreted. Where Deborah Warner’s recent Happy Days amplified Beckett into exaggerated proportions and Sarah-Jane Shiels gave Act Without Words II a political context without curtailing its meaning, here Stanford settles for understated, deferential reference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keogh and Linehan, amusingly sad and achingly funny, bring the subtext of their own professional double-act, while the swing door that allows Bradley’s surreally quick reappearances recalls the innovations of previous Gate productions as much as the quiet plea of Beckett’s poem Dieppe to “live the space of a door that opens and shuts”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is where Endgame continues to mean something, as stark and funny and true as words can be. The game we know may be stalemate, but Roe’s Hamm sums up the Beckettian worldview with a snappy finality that Pinter and Mamet would admire: “The end is in the beginning and yet you go on.”&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-497763120604667260?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/497763120604667260/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-zu-endgame-in-dublin.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/497763120604667260'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/497763120604667260'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/review-zu-endgame-in-dublin.html' title='Review zu Endgame in Dublin'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-4114411081104959551</id><published>2010-11-14T12:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-14T12:11:36.815-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Beckett'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ulster Bank Theatre Festival'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='endgame'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dublin'/><title type='text'>Endgame by Samuel Beckett - Fotogalerie</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/TOBCPwVQxYI/AAAAAAAAAZU/WlPk85tj9Z0/s1600/OwenRoeinBeckettsEndgame5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

Ich muss wirklich versuchen immer Karten weit vorn zu bekommen oder mehr als einmal zu gehen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ciaran Hinds ist ein bekannter Schauspieler (ich habe ihn jedenfalls schon in einigen Filmen gesehen) und auch seine Partnin war sehr gut. &lt;br /&gt;Mit den Vögeln von Hitchcock kann man es nicht vergleichen.

Immortalised by Alfred Hitchcock in his legendary film and now re-imagined in a chilling new adaptation by acclaimed Irish playwright Conor McPherson, &lt;i&gt;The Birds&lt;/i&gt; is an unrelenting and spellbinding portrait of terror and alienation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gate has a long and close relationship with the award-winning playwright, screenwriter and director, Conor McPherson, premiering many of his works both at home and abroad, many of which the author also directed. These productions include &lt;i&gt;The Weir&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Dublin Carol&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Come On Over&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Port Authority&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Shining City&lt;/i&gt;. The world premier of &lt;i&gt;The Birds &lt;/i&gt;will be the fourth play by McPherson to be presented by the Gate in the Festival.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 16px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;span class="bodytext"   style="  font-weight: normal; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;strong style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); "&gt;It will blow you away&lt;/strong&gt; because a Gate presentation of a new work by Conor McPherson, with some of the finest actors Ireland has ever produced, is undoubtedly one of the highlights of the theatrical year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="bodytext"   style="  font-weight: normal; color: rgb(102, 102, 102); font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 16px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; "&gt;&lt;a class="linktext" href="http://dublintheatrefestival.com/artists/display.asp?m=&amp;amp;artistID=273" style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102); text-decoration: underline; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-1226561459393615754?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/1226561459393615754/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/ulster-bank-theatre-festival-2009.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/1226561459393615754'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/1226561459393615754'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/ulster-bank-theatre-festival-2009.html' title='Ulster Bank Theatre Festival - 2009'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/TOA9m33ew5I/AAAAAAAAAYk/x2ahiuzuy5w/s72-c/Ciaran-Hinds-in-The-Birds.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-3541692274529671091</id><published>2010-11-14T11:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-14T11:34:01.265-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Insel-Komödie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hochhuth'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Heesters'/><title type='text'>Insel-Komödie von Rolf Hochhuth</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/TOA5OcTIiaI/AAAAAAAAAYE/rVBIzXfYEpQ/s1600/Inselkom%25C3%25B6die.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/TOA5OcTIiaI/AAAAAAAAAYE/rVBIzXfYEpQ/s200/Inselkom%25C3%25B6die.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539490461943105954" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isabel Dörfler und andere Cast-Mitglieder&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich hatte die Gelegenheitheit mir Hochhuths Stück anzusehen.&lt;br /&gt;Der Autor war anwesend und ich habe eine Unterschrift im Manuskript bekommen. Er hat die Aufmersamkeit sehr genossen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich war recht skeptisch, weil die Presse doch sehr vorengenommen war, aber mir hat es gefallen. Und Johannes Heesters war wirklich beeindruckend. Hätte ich nicht gedacht. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ich habe eine der Sängerinnen Isabel Dörfler an diesem Abend kennengelernt. Hier ein kleines Fotos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sie hat uns zum Feiern mitgenommen. Da saßen dann alle im Biergarten des BE bei Wein und Bier. Auch Johannes Heesters mit seiner Frau. Wir waren müde - er überhaupt nicht. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Alles in allem ein gelungener Theaterabend bei schönem Sommerwetter. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;br /&gt;x&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Inselkomödie" feiert in Berlin Premiere&lt;br /&gt;Heesters – Comeback mit 106 Jahren&lt;br /&gt;zuletzt aktualisiert: 28.07.2010 - 13:17&lt;br /&gt;Berlin (RPO). Er ist der älteste Schauspieler der Welt. Am Freitag feiert er in Berlin einmal mehr sein Comeback. Jopie Heesters wird im Alter von 106 Jahren bei der Premiere von Rolf Hochhuths "Inselkomödie" im Berliner Theater dabei sein – als König auf einem Thron.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heesters ist zusammen mit Caroline Beil das Zugpferd von Hochhuths Sommeraufführung, die sein mehr als 30 Jahre altes Stück "Lysistrate und die NATO" zum Vorbild hat. Beil ist den Fernsehzuschauern ein Begriff. Die Schauspielerin moderierte ein Boulevardmagazin, spielte in der RTL-Soap "Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten" (GZSZ) und zog ins Dschungelcamp ein. Ab Freitag lehrt sie als Lysistrate nicht ekelhaften Insekten, sondern den Männern das Fürchten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mit Soapdarstellern hat der Maestro so seine Erfahrungen. 2005 wurde seine Komödie "Familienbande" komplett mit "GZSZ"-Personal aufgeführt und gelobt. Für die "Inselkomödie" hat Hochhuth nun neben Beil auch Kostas Papanastasiou verpflichtet, den Inbegriff des griechischen Wirts aus der ARD-"Lindenstraße". Er spielt, wie könnte es anders sein, den griechischen Wirt Konstantinos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heesters hält zwei Monologe&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Um das altehrwürdige Stück in die Gegenwart zu übertragen, machte Komponist Florian Fries aus 300 Seiten Drama ein modernes Musical. "Ich bin Gebrauchsmusiker, möchte unterhalten, Ohrwürmer schaffen", sagt Fries über das bunte Ergebnis. Nur Heesters darf in der "Inselkomödie" nicht singen. Dem 106-Jährigen bleiben nur zwei Monologe, die er auf einem Thron sitzend rezitiert.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dafür singen die übrigen Ensemblemitglieder umso mehr. Im schwarzen Minirock und kniehohen Stiefeln stachelt Beil als Lysistrate die Frauen einer kleinen griechischen Insel gegen ihre Männer und den Popen auf. Diese wollen das Eiland den USA als Raketenbasis zur Verfügung stellen, die Frauen wollen lieber Touristen auf die Insel locken.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Während die Ehegatten also alleine auf ihren Bauernhöfen festsitzen und den "Melkstreik" sowie die Abwesenheit ordentlicher Mahlzeiten und Kinderbetreuung beklagen, sammeln die Frauen sich unter Lysistrates Führung im örtlichen Gasthaus. Dort sind auch die Offiziere einquartiert, die die Insel auf ihre Raketenbasistauglichkeit überprüfen sollen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tanzeinlage mit Stühlen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doch diese Warnung ist leicht zu übersehen, kriechen doch Beils Mitstreiterinnen in Häschenkostümen über die Bühne, wackeln jederzeit ordentlich mit dem Hintern, lassen sich mit pinkfarbenem Schuhwerk bestechen und kichern wie eine Gruppe Teenager auf Klassenfahrt. Sogar eine Tanzeinlage mit Stühlen wird geboten. Ginge es nicht um Raketen und tote Kinder, die Bühne könnte teilweise auch die eines Burlesque-Theaters sein.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ein Happy End also, auch auf der Bühne. Die Soldaten lassen sich von den vielen nackten Schenkeln den Kopf verdrehen und verlassen die Insel in Schimpf und Schande. "Das Schwert der Fremde bricht nur in der Scheide", ruft der Chor der Inselfrauen den Offizieren hinterher. Wirt Konstantinos schenkt zur Feier persönlich den Ouzo ein. Prost!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-3541692274529671091?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/3541692274529671091/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/insel-komodie-von-rolf-hochhuth.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/3541692274529671091'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/3541692274529671091'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/11/insel-komodie-von-rolf-hochhuth.html' title='Insel-Komödie von Rolf Hochhuth'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/TOA5OcTIiaI/AAAAAAAAAYE/rVBIzXfYEpQ/s72-c/Inselkom%25C3%25B6die.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-1805403515239734732</id><published>2010-04-20T20:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-20T20:17:02.512-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Victory Gardens'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jacob und Jack'/><title type='text'>Jacob und Jack</title><content type='html'>Wie schon gesagt, konnten wir heute eine interne Presentation von Jacob and Jack  (http://victorygardens.org/onstage/jandj/index.php) sehen. zuerst wurde das Bühnenbild präsentier, dann die Kostüme und schließlich das Stück.

Allerdings haben wir keine schauspieler gesehen. falls die story stimmt.:)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actors to rescue: The 'CSI' guy&lt;br /&gt;Comments&lt;br /&gt;April 17, 2010&lt;br /&gt;BY MICHAEL SNEED Sun-Times Columnist&lt;br /&gt;A tale of two great actors, the human factor, and a humdinger twist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Case in point: An incident at Trattoria Gianni in Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre district Wednesday night involving actors William "CSI" Petersen and John Malkovich.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The scene: A young woman in a red hat quietly walks into the Trattoria bar for a nightcap and spots a table occupied by Petersen, who's appearing in Steppenwolf's "Endgame," and Malkovich, a Petersen pal who is a leading member of the august Steppenwolf ensemble.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The script: The petite blond walks over to the table and tells the men, "I am a huge fan," thanks them for chatting with her, says good night, leaves the restaurant, crosses the street, where a cab hailed by her husband is waiting, and gets hit by a car.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The upshot: Petersen, dressed in capri pants and sandals, runs to her side, gets down on his knees, puts her little red hat under her head to comfort her and whispers to her until paramedics arrive. Malkovich, who has been watching streetside with the rest of the cast, gets in the ambulance to comfort her. "He felt this could have been his daughter, who is about the young woman's age," said a Sneed source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The backshot: The woman, Courtney Boho Marincsin, suffered a leg injury and was rushed to Illinois Masonic Hospital. "The driver of the car stopped and got out to help, but it was Petersen who dashed headlong into the street to really help and calm her," the source said. "One of her red heels was smashed on the street."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• More backshot: "She was darling and very respectful and really sweet," said Trattoria owner Gianni Delisi. "She wasn't a total stranger to us. But we didn't know her name. It was so sad because she had been so excited to meet [Petersen and Malkovich], who are great guys. And then she heads outside and quickly gets hit by a car."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• The kicker: Marincsin is a personal injury attorney who works for the prestigious Clifford Law Firm, run by legal eagle Robert A. Clifford.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-3427553208185873693?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/3427553208185873693/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/04/wir-waren-dort.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/3427553208185873693'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/3427553208185873693'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/04/wir-waren-dort.html' title='Wir waren dort'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-6034324275368635583</id><published>2010-04-16T08:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-16T08:23:27.904-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chicago'/><title type='text'>Killer Joe</title><content type='html'>Da wir nun schon in chicago sind, haben wir uns "Killer Joe" von Tracy Letts angesehen. die warnungen - nudity, violence, sexual abuse - stimmen diesmal wirklich. &lt;br /&gt;Ich war überrascht vom plötzlichen ende, man weiß nicht genau was es bedeuten soll. &lt;br /&gt;die schauspieler waren hervorragend. ein gelungener abend. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;jetzt wohnen wir also bei Carol und Hund rockey. sie hat ein schönes und großes haus, wir haben das basement (2 Zimmer, bad, dusche) für uns. aber es ist trotzdem nicht so toll. die meisten sachen sind zerknautscht im koffer gelandet und jetzt noch etwas waschen ...&lt;br /&gt;ich werde wohl meinen Koffer neu packen und sehen. zum glück habe ich im hotel gewaschen und bin etwas flexibel.&lt;br /&gt;kerstin&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-6034324275368635583?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/6034324275368635583/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/04/killer-joe.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6034324275368635583'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6034324275368635583'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/04/killer-joe.html' title='Killer Joe'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-7702397283693097191</id><published>2010-04-14T22:47:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-04-14T22:49:58.847-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Chicago'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='endgame'/><title type='text'>Letzter Tag Chicago</title><content type='html'>Letzte Endgame-Vorstellung :(&lt;br /&gt;Diesmal mit John Malkovich im Publikum.

I had a two-egg breakfast with bacon, hash browns, toast and THE best cinnamon rolls, besides Cinnabon, of course. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Piddled around a bit at the hotel until time to head to the theater. Enjoyed Endgame very much. It’s awkward at times, yet full of humor and despair. Mattie Hawkinson, Billy’s co-star in Blackbird, was in the audience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the play, we went to The Black Dog (I think that’s the name; I’ll check and edit if necessary). Had a couple Amaretto sours and some appetizers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After leaving there, we decided to take a chance and go to The Second City to see The Absolute Best Friggin' Time of Your Life. Mind you the show started at 11:00 PM and I’d been up since 3:30 AM with only 3 hours of sleep. But we enjoyed the show immensely.

Wir waren jetzt jeden Tag dort, allerdings nicht in jeder vorstellung. Und es war immer anders. Niemals langweilig. Ich kann es wirklich nur empfehlen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Die bühne ist grau, keine dekoration, nur der Thron auf dem Billy ist da und die beiden Mülltonnen. &lt;br /&gt;Die Rolle ist sicher nicht einfach. in dieser version hat man auf den humor gesetzt, viele lacher im publikum, immer an anderen stellen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;vorgestern hatten wir eine Matinee, in der Billy die Pfeife vergessen hatte. Sie ist wirklich wichtig, weil er damit Chlov ruft. und dann hat er versucht zu improvisieren und Chlov sollte die Pfeife bringen. und ian kam wieder und sagt: There is no whisle. Also ein zweites Mal pfeifen ohne und erst später kam er und sagt: I found the whisle. Ich bin sicher, dass man ihn nach der vorstellung nicht ansprechen sollte. er war sicher sauer. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Was auch etwas merkwürdig ist: der vorhang fällt und nicht. die schauspieler verschwinden einfach. viele klatschen ein wenig und das wars. Manche wissen nicht, ob es weitergeht oder nicht. ich fände es besser, wenn sie sich verbergen würden. aber der regisseur hat die Idee nach der ersten Vorstellung verworfen. Schade. Aber die previews sind noch nicht vorbei. vielleicht wird es noch anders.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-4326914134829183922?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/4326914134829183922/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/04/endgame.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/4326914134829183922'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/4326914134829183922'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2010/04/endgame.html' title='Endgame'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-1314986508814578054</id><published>2010-03-29T09:54:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2010-03-29T10:09:17.934-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Onkel Wanja'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Strawdog'/><title type='text'>The Lost Boys of Sudan &amp; Onkel Wanja</title><content type='html'>Wir haben das Stück schon am ersten Abend gesehen.

Im zweiten hätte man sachen kürzen können. manche auftritte waren doppelt, irgendwie überflüssig. zumal es sehr lang war. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;wir hatten das "Glück" mit einer Schulklasse dort so zusein. Einer farbigen und es war recht unruhig. plus die leute haben an manchen stellen sehr laut reagiert. &lt;br /&gt;die schauspieler hatten sich nach dem stück die zeit genommen mit dem Publikum zu reden. sie waren echt sauer und haben es auch gesagt. wahrscheinlich haben die schüler auch sms geschrieben und man sah das von der bühne. keine gute idee die schüler zu zwingen, aber auf der anderen seite eine chance wenigstens ein paar zu erreichen. &lt;br /&gt;heute am freitag wollen wir nach Skokie.

Vor allem das für Welturaufführungen bekannte Victory Gardens liegt dem Schauspieler am Herzen; dort leitet sein ältester Freund Dennis Zacek die Produktion, der ihm sein erstes Engagement, seine erste "equity card", eine Art Gewerkschafts-Pass, gegeben hatte. "Wir haben ein Stück über Dillinger inszeniert", erinnert sich Zacek, "Bill hatte mich in einem Burger King angesprochen, wollte wissen, wie man Schauspieler wird." Zwischen dem leidenschaftlichen jungen Mann und seinem Mentor entwickelte sich eine lebenslange Freundschaft - als das neu übernommene Biograph renoviert werden musste, war Petersen mit einer großzügigen Spende sofort zur Stelle. "Wir brauchten Falltüren, die wegen des Grundwassers zu teuer waren. Als Bill davon hörte, sagte er nur: Wenn der Mann Falltüren will, kriegt er Falltüren." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;++++++++++++++++++++++++++&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mentor &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dennis Zacek's offer&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When William Petersen talks about coming home to Chicago, he automatically refers to such reputable theaters as the "Steppenwolf" or the "Victory Gardens/Biograph Theater". Especially the Victory Gardens Theater, which is famous for its world premieres, is dear to the actor's heart. His oldest friend, Dennis Zacek, who was the first to hire him giving him his first "equity card", some sort of actor's guild card, is the leading producer there. "We staged a p lay about Dillinger", Zacek remembers, "Bill talked to me when we were eating at Burger  King, he wanted to know how to become an actor." A life-long friendship developed between the passionate young man and his tutor - when the Biograph had to be renovated right after new owners took over, Petersen immediately helped with a generous donation. “We needed trap doors, which were too expensive because of the ground water. When Bill got the news, he just said: 'If the man wants trap doors, trap doors are what he will get.'"&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-5304993021881980265?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/5304993021881980265/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/08/old-articledennis-zacek-billy-mentioned.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/5304993021881980265'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/5304993021881980265'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/08/old-articledennis-zacek-billy-mentioned.html' title='Old Article/Dennis Zacek &amp; Billy mentioned'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-2718773211652729149</id><published>2009-08-12T12:01:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-12T12:02:48.979-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jorja Fox'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Season10'/><title type='text'>Season 10: Family Affair</title><content type='html'>"Family Affair" --The CSI team, including Nick Stokes (George Eads, left), Catherine Willows (Marg Helgenberger, center left) and Dr. Raymond Langston (Laurence Fishburne, right) talk with Supervisor Conrad Ecklie (Marc Vann, right) about the case of a famous young actress tragically killed during a suspicious car accident, on the tenth season premiere of CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, Thursday, September 24 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.&lt;br /&gt;Photo: Sonja Flemming/CBS&lt;br /&gt;Erste kleine Fotos : &lt;br /&gt;http://spoilertv.blogspot.com/2009/08/csi-las-vegas-episode-1001-family.html&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-2718773211652729149?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/2718773211652729149/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/08/season-10-family-affair.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/2718773211652729149'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/2718773211652729149'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/08/season-10-family-affair.html' title='Season 10: Family Affair'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-4051321435380681585</id><published>2009-08-04T00:19:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-08-04T00:20:08.385-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CSI'/><title type='text'>Versteigerung</title><content type='html'>Los Angeles (ddp). &lt;br /&gt;In Hollywood kommt ein Stück Filmgeschichte unter den Hammer.

Jorja Fox Speaks on Her CSI Return &lt;br /&gt;by Megan Walsh-Boyle  July 27, 2009 02:55 PM EST &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's official: Lauren Lee Smith is out on CSI, and Jorja Fox is back in! The prodigal star spoke exclusively to TVGuideMagazine.com about her return for at least five episodes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what prompted your return to CSI?&lt;br /&gt;Right around March, I felt really rested and was itching to work—I was ready and going to meetings and auditioning. When I was in Atlanta [filming a guest shot on Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva], I got the call about CSI—it was completely out of the blue! I never thought I’d be going back to work with people that I knew, I thought I’d be starting new things. That was a surprise, so I’m going back to work and it’s with the same people who I’ve worked with for eight years in the past. [Laughs] I was thrilled! For me it was a huge compliment! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When do you begin filming?&lt;br /&gt;I was there all week—they started shooting July 20. I think I’m about knee-deep back in the water. It has just been a ball and a half. I think CSI’s premiere episode is one of the best that I’ve ever read. It’s a pleasant surprise. You think, "They’re starting Season 10—how is it going to be as good as it was last year or four years ago?" And they blew me away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know yet what brings Sara back to Vegas?&lt;br /&gt;I think all I can really say is [pause] the team has had a rough year—there has been a lot going on—and so Sara comes back mostly just to see if she can help for a while, because she loves those guys and she misses them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And if Sara is back in the lab, where does that leave Gil? Ah! That will hopefully be a reveal in the premiere. They’ve prevented me from discussing Grissom at all. [Laughs]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s got to be the burning question for fans of the show… Thank you. We hope we’ve picked the right stuff to be a surprise.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-8554529017033162129?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/8554529017033162129/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/tv-guide-interview-mit-jorja-fox.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/8554529017033162129'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/8554529017033162129'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/tv-guide-interview-mit-jorja-fox.html' title='TV Guide Interview mit Jorja Fox'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-1531147956006627994</id><published>2009-07-25T12:53:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T12:55:47.689-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Season 10'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Jorja Fox'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CSI'/><title type='text'>Entertainment Weekly - July 2009</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/Smti01KoWWI/AAAAAAAAAKA/f19Lo1HeRw4/s1600-h/ew.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 185px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/Smti01KoWWI/AAAAAAAAAKA/f19Lo1HeRw4/s400/ew.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362488441079093602" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: Tee from YTDAW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'CSI' Scoop: Sara's back! Will Grissom be next?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Less that a year after reuninting in the jungle with leading man William Petersen, Jorja Fox is heading back to CSI this fall -- alone. But don't take Fox's five-episode to mean that Sara and Grissom's happily-ever-after was a bust. "They're absolutely together," insists executive producer, Naren Shankar, who nonetheless says Sara will drop hints at trouble in paradise. "We're talking about a coulpe of very independant individuals who have decided to share their life together. The first few months of that for any couple are a weird adjustment."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, if it's not a breakup, what does prompt Sara to revisit the Vegas strip? Shankar and fellow executive producer Carol Mendelsohn maintain it was not a mandate from CBS to stem last season's rating slide. That said, the pair concede that the back-to-back-to-back departures of Fox, Gary Dourdan and Petersen, combined with the arrivals of Laurence Fisburne and Lauren Lee Smith, took a toll. "The family had disintegrated a little bit," Shankar says. "We had people off in their own bubbles, and we want to restore that family [feeling]. And Jorja's helping with that." Adds Mendelsohn: "Sara comes in and brings everyone together. And she helps Catherine understand that as he [new] leader, she needs to make the team cohesive and really fire on all cylinders again."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Might she get an in-person assist from Petersen? "You never know when Grissom will show up on CSI," teases Mendelsohn. "The theme of [season 10] is family. And he certainly is a big part of the family -- a big part of the family." I'll that that as a yes.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-1531147956006627994?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/1531147956006627994/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/entertainment-weekly-july-2009.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/1531147956006627994'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/1531147956006627994'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/entertainment-weekly-july-2009.html' title='Entertainment Weekly - July 2009'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_tdt7bQ9ZQXM/Smti01KoWWI/AAAAAAAAAKA/f19Lo1HeRw4/s72-c/ew.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-7125771587194770216</id><published>2009-07-25T12:16:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T12:23:26.111-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='William Petersen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blackbird'/><title type='text'>Time Out Chicago</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://media.timeoutchicago.com/images/main/logo.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 132px; height: 90px;" src="http://media.timeoutchicago.com/images/main/logo.gif" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Blackbird&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Kris Vire &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Victory Gardens Theater. By David Harrower. Dir. Dennis Zacek. With Mattie Hawkinson, William L. Petersen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may be Petersen’s TV fame that had some performances of this Chicago premiere selling out before it opened. But audiences who come for Gil Grissom will leave Mattie Hawkinson fans—the depth and precision of her performance is nothing short of breathtaking. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hawkinson plays Una, a young woman who tracks down the man (Petersen) who, 15 years earlier, was her lover. Or rather, perhaps, her molester; at the time of their sexual encounters, he was 40 and she was 12. It’s that “perhaps” that makes Harrower’s play so confoundingly, uncomfortably complex. The playwright doles out with great care the details of the entanglement, its end and what’s ensued in the intervening years, before Una sees Ray’s photo by chance in a trade magazine; the play unfolds in real time as Una confronts Ray in his workplace’s break room.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The balance of power shifts often enough to make one nauseous; indeed, as the waves of recriminations crash back and forth, both Ray and Una reach the verge of physical illness. What may induce discomfort in those watching is the play’s emotional intricacy. It’s natural to want a clear moral denouncement of what was definitely abuse. But Harrower doesn’t allow us that ease: While neither blaming the victim nor letting the abuser off the hook, Blackbird whittles away at these two until we can’t help but see the affair the way they did—as a love story, albeit one that destroyed both their lives. Petersen crumples masterfully in Zacek’s tightly wound production, but it’s Hawkinson’s play. As you watch her crescendo in the long, riveting indictment of a monologue in which she recounts the last time she saw Ray, just heed our advice: Remember to breathe.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-7125771587194770216?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/7125771587194770216/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/time-out-chicago.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/7125771587194770216'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/7125771587194770216'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/time-out-chicago.html' title='Time Out Chicago'/><author><name>Ich in Berlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/12443039832074928724</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3798971511663846210.post-6230247959421112580</id><published>2009-07-25T12:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-07-25T12:16:25.528-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='William Petersen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Blackbird'/><title type='text'>Time Out Chicago - 25.

And news of its extension to August 9 was enough to melt down the theater’s reservation system. I made the trek to the Biograph Theater on Wednesday (the anniversary of John Dillinger’s death, no less) to see Billy Petersen and Mattie Hawkinson duel it out. But while I agree that the two actors turn in accomplished performances in arduous roles (and as set designer, Dean Taucher is no slouch, either), I found myself decidedly less enamored with Harrower’s play.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you’ve probably heard, Blackbird (British slang for an ex-con) revolves around a sexual relationship between 56-year-old Ray (Petersen) and Una (Hawkinson), now 27, when she was 12. The topic is, to put it lightly, controversial; plenty of people find the very idea that Ray is portrayed as anything but a predatory monster intolerable. That doesn’t seem like a very productive stance toward the play, in my view. It’s not as though we need another contemporary bear-baiting exhibition like NBC’s vile To Catch a Predator, as exploitative an effort as one could imagine regarding the issue of child sexual abuse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And to some degree, Blackbird is more effective in its delineation of the damage Ray’s done because it registers complexities. When Una, in the lengthy monologue that forms the core of the play, describes herself as happily waiting in a motel room for Ray, eager for “her man” to bring her chocolate, the detail is precise and heartbreaking. It’s the voice of a child who wants very badly to be fully grown, and as Hawkinson’s performance makes clear, Ray, by taking advantage of this desire, has left her marooned in childhood even as an adult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What bothers me about Blackbird isn’t the complexities it offers, but what it lacks: in a word, drama. It’s not that Petersen and Hawkinson don’t get ample opportunity to show their vocal registers or throw things around. But the situation between the two characters is fundamentally undramatic—because there really isn’t anything for them to do about it. It’s not even clear that it make sense to talk about a shared situation. The events that matter have all happened fifteen years before Una shows up at Ray’s workplace. So, when the play ends without clear resolution, that doesn’t seem like Harrower’s artistic choice: it seems like his acknowledgement of the limits of his setup.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those limits ultimately had three consequences for me as a viewer. First, since we’re given virtually nothing about this pair except for their relationship as abuser and abused, the play comes to seem more like a kind of case study of a particular kind of crime than a fully-fledged drama (maybe appropriate for CSI’s Petersen, but still disappointing). Second, the imbalance of power between the two characters, in setting up Una as, however enraged, still supplicant to Ray, who still gets to slip out of the room at the end, replicates the logic of the original abusive situation, but does so arbitrarily: Una’s left putting herself at Ray’s mercy again simply because that’s how the play sets it up. And it’s the conjunction of these aspects that makes the play feel exploitative to me. It purports on one level to give a clear-eyed examination of sexual abuse, but its lack of context and dramatic inertia leave it uncomfortably close to presenting the situation simply for our entertainment: uneasy entertainment, to be sure, but entertainment nonetheless.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-6230247959421112580?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/6230247959421112580/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/time-out-chicago-25-july-2009.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6230247959421112580'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6230247959421112580'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/time-out-chicago-25-july-2009.html' title='Time Out Chicago - 25.

There's no vocal, but the song—Paul McCartney's "Blackbird," from the Beatles' 1968 White Album—is instantly recognizable, and its words float in your head: "Blackbird singing in the dead of night / Take these broken wings and learn to fly . . . into the light of the dark black night."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Una and Ray, the principal characters in this unremittingly intense 80-minute one-act by Scottish playwright David Harrower, are birds with broken wings—psychologically crippled by an episode that left both their lives in tatters. She's 27, he's 56, and they've had a brief affair—about 15 years earlier, when he was 40 and she was 12. They haven't seen each other since Ray was sent to prison for statutory rape ("blackbird" is British slang for "jailbird"). Una has endured a lifetime of being "talked about, pointed at, stared at," while Ray has done his time, changed his name, moved to a new city, and rebuilt his life. Now called Peter, he's the manager of a medical-supplies manufacturing firm. Una, who's found him after stumbling across his photo in a trade magazine in her doctor's office, has him cornered in the littered lunchroom of his workplace. But why? To accuse him? Humiliate him? Attack him? Hurt him? Kill him? Or to rekindle the relationship?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blackbird debuted in 2005 at the Edinburgh International Festival before moving to London's West End and winning the Laurence Olivier Award for best new play. Now receiving its Chicago premiere at Victory Gardens, with William L. Petersen as Ray and Mattie Hawkinson as Una, it's the work of a very skillful writer. Like David Mamet and Harold Pinter, Harrower knows how to distill the fractured syntax, half-completed sentences, stuttering repetitions, and pregnant pauses of conversation into a stark, stylized, nerve-jangling poetry. He knows how to heighten tension with dramatically well-timed interruptions—a phone that rings at an awkward moment, an unwanted knock on the door—and startling outbursts of violent action. And he knows how to leave questions unresolved. Like Oleanna, Mamet's tale of a middle-aged college teacher's disastrous encounter with a female student, or Doubt, John Patrick Shanley's portrait of a nun who suspects a priest of child molestation, Blackbird allows—even forces—audience members to impose their own interpretations on the events they've seen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As Una and Ray retrace the events that led to their "three-month stupid mistake," Harrower questions whether Una is more traumatized by the affair or by its aftermath—her parents' fury, the intrusive medical exams, the guilt-inducing sessions with a soft-spoken psychiatrist who asked her why she hurt people who loved her, the trial, the media, the gossip. Exploring the blurry line between passion and perversion, love and abuse, Blackbird suggests that intimate relationships between adults and minors are taboo not because they're abnormal but because they're all too natural. Ray insists he's not one of "those sick bastards" who gets off on underage girls; his desire for Una arose from an inappropriate but sincere affection. And Una was no Nabokovian nymphet, but an average pubescent girl drawn to a mature man who, unlike most other adults, didn't treat her like a kid.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This compelling play demands complete commitment and honesty from its actors while testing their memory and concentration to the limit. In Dennis Zacek's thoughtful, beautifully paced staging, every moment counts, as each answer raises new questions and each flash of insight raises the drama's emotional stakes, building to a shocking final twist. Petersen's haunting Ray—a man torn simultaneously by guilt and a lingering, aching passion—perfectly balances Hawkinson's blistering, surgically precise Una, whose life is a constant, quietly desperate struggle with panic, depression, anger, and longing. Watching this duo warily face off, then relax to the point where they can share water from the same plastic bottle, is like watching two hostile animals as approach the same water hole. Lit by Jesse Klug, Dean Taucher's lunchroom set comes complete with folding metal chairs, card tables, headache-inducing fluorescent lights, and garbage cans filled to overflowing with junk-food wrappers and soft-drink cans—a perfect metaphor for the emotional mess Ray has spent a lifetime trying to dispose of.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blackbird dissects pedophilia but also transcends that subject, finding universality in extreme circumstances. Anyone who's ever tried to revisit a failed relationship—a broken love affair, a marriage that ended in bitter divorce, a childhood with abusive parents—will understand the challenge Una and Ray face as they sort through the secrets and self-deceptions, trying to comprehend the past so they can move forward into the light of the dark black night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tags: Victory Gardens Theater, Blackbird, David Harrower, William L.

Als William Petersen die Serie verlies, sank das CSI-Flaggchiff langsam, aber stetig.&lt;br /&gt;Da half auch Laurence Fishburnes Auftritt als neuer Ermittler nichts. Also besann man sich auf Bewährtes und holte Jorja Fox jetzt für 5 Folgen zurück. Carol Mendelsohn musste allerdings auch mitteilen, dass William Petersen nicht dabei sein wird. Er feiert inzwischen vor ausverkauften Häusern Erfolge auf der Bühne.  &lt;br /&gt;... Nach seiner Heimkehr ans Chicagoer Victory Gardens Biograph Theater musste jetzt sogar die Spielzeit des Stücks "Blackbird" bis Mitte August verlängert werden. Dabei ist Blackbird, inszeniert von Petersens Mentor Dennis Zacek, keine leichte Kost. das preisgekrönte Stück thematisiert die - auch körperlich - Liebe eines Erwachsenen zu einer Zwölfjährigen. 15 Jahre später und nach einem Gefängnisaufenthalt wegen Pädophilie, treffen die beiden einander wieder. Blackbird (in etwa "Galgenvogel") läuft denn auch 80 Minuten ohne Pause, Zu-spät-Kommende haben das Nachsehen, um das intensive Spiel zwischen William Petersen und Mattie Hawkinson nicht zu stören. &lt;br /&gt;Und so wird Jorja Fox allein versuchen müssen, die schlechten Quoten zu steigern - ab 24.

Juli 2009 - Chicago Sun Times</title><content type='html'>July 10, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BY HEDY WEISS Theater Critic&lt;br /&gt;At 56, William L. Petersen is still a ruggedly handsome actor continually in search of big artistic challenges. Considered one of the "elder statesman" of Chicago theater (though he might cringe at the description), he forged his career here, went on to fame and fortune in Hollywood (including a nine-year stint as Dr. Gil Grissom in the CBS drama "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation"), and recently returned "home" to work on the stages he knows and loves best. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With one acclaimed performance already under his belt (in Conor McPherson's "A Dublin Carol," seen this past winter at Steppenwolf Theatre), he is about to open in Scottish-born playwright David Harrower's "Blackbird," which receives its Chicago premiere Monday at Victory Gardens Theater. And he's already booked for next spring, too, when he'll play the blind, rambunctious Hamm in Samuel Beckett's "Endgame" at Steppenwolf.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;» Click to enlarge image William L. Petersen (right) plays Ray and Mattie Hawkinson is Una, in Victory Gardens Theater's Chicago premiere of "Blackbird." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'BLACKBIRD'Opens Monday, and runs through Aug. 9&lt;br /&gt;Victory Gardens Biograph Theater, 2433 N. Lincoln&lt;br /&gt;Tickets: $30-$58&lt;br /&gt;Phone: (773) 871-3000&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Petersen's "Blackbird" co-star, Mattie Hawkinson, is a soft-spoken but bristlingly smart beauty with a lightly freckled porcelain complexion, reddish hair and an understated aura of confidence. At 28 she is younger than Petersen's real-life daughter (who already has made him a grandfather). Born in Bellingham, Washington, she admits to having been "pretty precocious" -- performing in community theater (along with her family) from early on, and then, during high school, sitting in on the college classes her mother was taking to earn a degree in theater. She headed here to attend Northwestern University. Since graduating she has appeared at Chicago Shakespeare, Steppenwolf, Lookingglass, Apple Tree and, most recently, the Goodman Theatre where she memorably played the fetching, pot-smoking, 16-year-old daughter of a Cambridge professor in Tom Stoppard's "Rock 'n' Roll."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When we chatted recently, Petersen and Hawkinson were still in rehearsal mode for Harrower's "Blackbird" -- a highly poetic, darkly disturbing play that is known to take a toll on the two actors who move through its harrowing 80 minutes of psychological exorcism. The pair still hasn't quite figured out the necessary pre-show decorum ("We go to our separate dressing rooms, but should we even chat casually?," Hawkinson wonders aloud). And they have no idea how things will change onstage once an audience arrives to observe their characters -- Ray and Una -- who are locked in a ferociously private and upending act of confrontation concerning a calamitous period from their past. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harrower wrote "Blackbird" (the British term for "jailbird") after reading news accounts of an American veteran of the first Gulf War who made contact via the Internet with a 12-year-old girl in London and eventually arranged to meet her. He heavily altered the story so that the two initially meet when she is 12 and he is the 40-year-old neighbor on her family's street who is invited to a barbecue in their backyard. Now, 15 years after the fact -- and after he has served a three-year prison term for statutory rape and subsequently returned to work -- she finally gets a chance as an adult to confront him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is a play that is bigger than just the two people in it," said Petersen, who noted that he and director Dennis Zackek were looking for a play when "Blackbird" was suggested by Michael Billington, the British theater critic. "It's about love, about lies, about a person's ability to deal with his or her own psychology. It's not just about passing judgment or seeking revenge. It's also about men -- about certain guys who are never able to deal with girls in their adolescence, and who later, because even at 40 they still haven't figured things out, want something back from women they missed in their adolescence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In a way it's like that play I did early in my career here, 'In the Belly of the Beast,' about Jack Abbott, the guy who committed murder after he was released from prison," Petersen continued. "This story is about child sexual abuse. And like prison life, it's not something we like talking about much, but we should, especially now that the Internet has made contact so easy and so dangerous."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For Hawkinson, who has an eight-page monologue at one point in the play, a principal attraction of "Blackbird" was "the phenomenal writing," and the complex way Harrower plays with time as he "puts the middle of the story in the beginning and the beginning at the end, with many well-placed surprises along the way." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's got a sort of [Harold] Pinter-like quality about it," Petersen added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I saw the New York production of this play with Jeff Daniels as Ray, and Alsion Pill, who I know, as Una," said Hawkinson, who moved to Brooklyn a couple of years ago but has ended up "living out of a suitcase" because her work has taken her to many regional theaters and also back here. "So when I heard Victory Gardens was planning to do it I called up Dennis [Zacek]. He still made me audition, but he said 'Mattie, I really want you to be good,' so I was very nervous. In fact, I came super-prepared, with about half the play already memorized. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What was great was that I sensed immediately that Dennis would really honor the complexity of this work.I didn't want Una to be a weepy victim, or to have the whole thing feel like some salacious after-school special, which can be the pitfalls."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As for being a bit intimidated by Petersen, she smiled and recalled: "Dennis handled us beautifully in the early rehearsals, and I think we became comfortable quite quickly."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And after all, she recently had a small film role as an art gallery assistant in "Everybody's Fine," playing opposite Robert DeNiro. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"And I want to get her out to L.A. for a 'CSI' episode," Petersen chimed in.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3798971511663846210-6518037204642227733?l=jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/feeds/6518037204642227733/comments/default' title='Kommentare zum Post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/10-juli-2009-chicago-sun-times.html#comment-form' title='0 Kommentare'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6518037204642227733'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3798971511663846210/posts/default/6518037204642227733'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jorjaandbilly.blogspot.com/2009/07/10-juli-2009-chicago-sun-times.html' title='10.
