Yes,
a new Pig Iron piece is coming in just over a month. We're psyched, and we hope you are, too. In the meantime, though, here are a couple of things to tide you over:
- PITC Company Member Sarah Sanford is onstage through this weekend at the Lantern Theater Company in La Ronde, the famously scandalous 1921 Arthur Schnitzler play, which the Lantern website describes as a set of "sexy duets." Ben Dibble plays Wyclef to Sarah's Shakira. Tickets can be found here.
- At a recent sit-down, one of our supporters said he liked Pig Iron's productions because they felt "handmade," which we all thought was really nice. We like the idea of theatre as a endlessly mutable craft project - something which retains the mark of its maker(s). Out on DVD this month is the totally brilliant and infuriating The Science of Sleep, French director Michel Gondry's remarkable and highly personal dismantling of the wall separating the conscious and unconscious. Starring Gael Garcia Bernal and Charlotte Gainsbourg, the film exemplifies the "handmade" aesthetic as well as anything we can think of.
Rehearsals for CHEKHOV LIZARDBRAIN carry on, with some usual and unusual struggles and triumphs. We'll probably fill you in a little more at the end of the month.
