Notes from Arden
Notes from Arden
It started with a letter of complaint from Anteaus Company’s press rep, Lucy Pollak, regarding my review of Kenneth Cavander’s “The Curse of Oedipus” — a new play derived from excerpts of ancient Greek texts: We have some corrections, Lucy wrote, but you don’t have to make them if you don’t want. Hmmm. The author was clearly vexed, breaking his own rule never to respond to a review. I wrote back, explaining my position. With Lucy’s intervention, Kenneth and I were soon speaking by phone. We agreed to debate our way through the thickets of his play, and of ancient Greek mythology. That debate is this week’s Notes.

The Artist-With-Kids Conundrum — 150 Years Ago
Says Ilana Turner of her play O REJANE: “One day, magically, my dear family friend Willie told me about her grandmother. Willie’s grandmother, Réjane, was the subject of the Toulouse-Lautrec print that was hanging on Willie’s wall. Having spent my childhood wanting to leap into Toulouse-Lautrec paintings, I was immediately intrigued.” –BY DEBORAH KLUGMAN
