by Bertolt Brecht
directed by Janet Bentley
September 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17 2005
This classic play chronicles the shameless, voracious pursuit of total pleasure and sensual self-fulfillment by Baal, a young artist. His companionship with Ekart, a complex love-hate relationship that is at times erotic, nurturing, violent, and indifferent, explores the consequences of hedonism.
Note: Brecht plays are difficult, deep, and dark. Many people come out of them wondering what the heck just happened. Don't expect a straightforward, spoon-fed play here.
I'd also mention this one has very adult topics on sex and stuff. No actual nudity, but there are some unique fashion statements. . . .
A scene I wrote is going to be performed as part of City Circle's New Play Festival:
New Play Festival 2005
Uberdirected by Dave Helmuth
Part One:
September 30, Oct 1 & 2 (this is when my scene goes up)
Part Two:

"Seasons Change"
A couple try to address the details of their life as one faces an uncertain future.
(My note: uncertain future?? I suppose, in one sense. I'd argue it is not so much that they are uncertain about what the future holds, more that they are uncertain about their own ability to handle a future they know is rather inevitable. If you want to read the scene and decide for yourself, go here.).
