Changes consists of "a variety of original improvisations" and three one-act plays, one of which is apparently a jam session by local jazzmen. The other two are The Jewish Wife, which I gather is one of Bertolt Brecht's less worthwhile plays, and Michael McClure's The Cherub, which is evidently about someone called The Bed and described only as a sixty-two-year-old actress who must be seen. I have little or no idea what this means. Thursdays (cheaper), Fridays and Saturdays, 8 p.m. at Theater Two, 196 Broadway near Kendall Square...
...with other players, but always reverting back to the whole group, which, together, sings the main score, "Harlem in the Evening." At times the rhythm is off, the shifts just too coarse. When a love song, "Golden Girl," leads into a bittersweet fantasy of death (originally a one-act play, Soul Gone Home) the movement is contrived. During the entire song a mother can be seen in the dimly-lit background greiving over her son's body. While this accomodates the shift, it is annoying and detracts from the main action. The theme song is repeated four times throughout...
...bring a green plant to Theater Two tonight, they'll apparently let you in free to see Swallowed, which is four one-act plays about people being swallowed. That's how I interpret their press release, anyway...
SWALLOWED is four original one-act plays at Theater Two, 196 Broadway, and Saturday night at 10:30 there will evidently also be a dance concert there. The plays go on tomorrow and Friday at 8, Saturday...
SWALLOWED. Four one-act plays about people being swallowed. But it's the last weekend for a month. It seems the folks down in New York want to see four one-act plays about people being swallowed, too. Or something. 8 p.m. at Theater Two, 196 Broadway. Happy New Year. Peace...
