- Eastenders Repertory Company offers three programs of intriguing, seldom-seen
one-acts by six important playwrights. Series A, directed by Susan Evans,
consists of August Strindberg's sardonic comedy about marital infidelities,
“Playing with Fire,” in a flatly acted and staged production,
and Federico Garcia Lorca's curious, oddly compelling “The Love of
Don Perlimplin and Belisa in His Garden.” The frankly erotic tale
of an aged, childishly innocent don's marriage to the sensual, promiscuous
young Belisa is acted with some flair but haphazardly paced. Series A plays
alternate nights with Series B (Tennessee Williams' “And Tell Sad
Stories of the Deaths of Queens…” and Dacia Maraini's “Dialogue
Between a Prostitute and Her Client”) and Series C (Caryl Churchill's
“Three More Sleepless Nights” and Edward Albee's “Marriage
Play”). Call or see Web site for schedule.
