Someone is Sure to Come

The LAVA Center 324 Main Street, Greenfield, MA, United States

Theater Thursdays Play Reading Series Someone is Sure to Come by Ellen W. Kaplan directed by Hilary Dennis November 11, 2021 7:30 p.m. A lyrical play that looks at the challenges of serving interminable sentences. Fantasy and poetry combine to create a kaleidoscopic portrait of life “inside.” Click here to read the program. Five prisoners offer poetry and monologues about facing execution, the living death of life without parole, and decades in solitary confinement, while a young woman feels like she is going mad, having absorbed the experience of her friends inside. She is disoriented, powerless, afloat on an imaginary iceberg in the Arctic Ocean, seeing things, hearing voices, forgetting the facts of her life, utterly disoriented and powerless. [read more]

Traditionally, Ezidi are farmers and shepherds, but in the mid-seventies Saddam Hussein had Ezidi villages destroyed and their inhabitants transferred to collective settlements. In August 2014, the Ezidi (Yezidi) people were subjected to genocide: thousands were massacred, kidnapped, enslaved, raped and tortured by the Islamic State (ISIS). [read more]

After the Island – A Celebration of the Life of David Rowland

Trinitarian Congregational Church 147 Main Street, Northfield, MA, United States

A reading of After the Island, Silverthorne Theater Company Co-Founder David Rowland's full-length sequel to Shakespeare's The Tempest. In 2012, David Rowland penned an imaginative and thoughtful sequel to Shakespeare's famous last work The Tempest. In taking on the subject matter of one of the Bard's most philosophical plays, Rowland portrays the familiar cast as they have become an indeterminate number of years after Prospero and Miranda leave the Island to return to Milan and the less than magical world they found there. In the resonant rhythms of iambic pentameter, we meet an older Duke, Miranda and Fernando; Stephano and Trinculo reprise their drunken schemings; and Ariel returns to advise Prospero and set in motion re-connections and new beginnings.
