What the Birds CarryBy Elizabeth Gjelten
|
The world premiere of What the Birds Carry by Elizabeth Gjelten opened at The Pear Avenue Theatre on July 8, 2005. Directed by Virginia Reed; starring Avondine Wills, Chris Rodgers, Laurie Schroeder, Lance Gardner, Ian Waker. A lyrical, searing play about the half-life of war, the unruly persistence of love, and a shag carpet that swallows things. An invasion to protect oil interests. A shocking abuse of prisoners. But it's 1914, when an unlikely alliance between writer-socialist Jack London and a young Captain Douglas MacArthur produces a searing examination of betrayal and ambition. Timely, haunting and provocative.  |
