A dead show dog threatens a promising playwright's plans.
The Strindberg Rep is presenting Strindberg's Crimes and Crimes, adapted and directed by Whitney Aronson. Strindberg's original play, an impressionistic study of thought, is set in a Paris of the mind, not the city of actuality. A playwright named Maurice, after years of struggle, is expecting success from a drama about to be produced. But on the evening of his victory, in a fit of wild passion, he abandons his mistress and her child to take up with the mistress of a friend. The child dies and he accuses his new mistress of committing murder, while he himself is looked upon by the law as the probable criminal. This new adaptation will offer a new, lighter take on the story - modernizing the location and setting to contemporary New York and heightening the absurdity by making the human child a treasured champion show dog. |
