Love Unrequited - June 2010
LOVE UNREQUITED, an evening of one-act plays produced by the Haifa English Theatre, opens in June at Haifa’s Beit Hagefen Auditorium. The three plays focus on the inner psyches of the characters--their loneliness, longing and needs for love.
The plays included are Something Unspoken and Portrait of a Madonna written by Pulitzer Prize winning American playwright Tennessee Williams, as well as The Bear, a farce written by the well-loved Russian author Anton Chekhov.
In Something Unspoken, Williams draws from his Southern background in his portrayal of the imperial Cornelia Scott (Betsy Lewis Yizraeli), and of her long-suffering secretary-companion Grace (Valeska Fleming). The two of them share a silence “that nothing less than dynamite could break though.”
In Chekhov’s The Bear, Madam Popova (Maya Harel) is mourning her late husband when Grigory Stepanovitch (Yossi Lippa) comes to collect a debt. Popova’s loyal servant Lukeria (Ruth Willner) witnesses the beginning of their romance.
In Portrait of a Madonna Williams explores the tragic story of Lucretia Collins (Bertha Cafrey) who has aged in isolation. When she asks the building manager (David Friedlander) for help, he sends the elevator boy (Lavy Talmon Chvaicer) and the porter (Daniel Blauser) instead. They watch silently as a doctor (Jordan Mandell) and nurse (Hazel Packer) enter. Time has run out for her.
LOVE UNREQUITED is directed by Murray Rosovsky and will be performed by the Haifa English Theatre on the following dates at the Beit Hagefen Auditorium, 33 Zionism, Haifa.
