An entire update dedicated to various theater news from old and new productions including images, video clips, audio books and exhibitions.
Steppenwolf Theater have released lots more rehearsal and production photos from Endgame. These are available on their Flickr page
Great news in that another audio play will be available soon. Flyovers is due to be released on audio cd soon (many thanks for the info Jeff). You can pre-order your copy by visiting the link below.
We have actually heard the audio version of Flyovers and its definitely a must for your collections.
If you are visiting Chicago for Endgame or any other reason in the next few months, the Chicago Public Library on State Street is currently showing a collection of photos by our good friend, Lisa Ebright. The exhibition displays 35 years of her photography and includes a few images of Billy from Moby Dick, Fool for Love and Balm in Gilead, but if you are a fan of Chicago Theater in general, you will enjoy the exhibition.
Her works are currently being displayed on the 9th Floor. I do not believe you are allowed to take photos of the images displayed, so please be respectful if you are visiting the library. The exhibition is running until October 3, 2010.
Many thanks to everyone who sent the following clip, I do believe credit goes to Ricker23 on YTDAW for sharing the link first.
A short scene from the Remains Theater production of American Buffalo has been uploaded to youtube c/o Philthevideoguy. Enjoy!
Thanks for the the latest update, enjoyed all the pictures, links and just placed my order for the Flyovers CD.
How great to be able to see Billy on stage from the past! I have only seen him in the last 2 years on stage so this was great to see. I wish it were longer!
Many thanks for advises about Chicago Public Library that allowing to research scripts, journals and other material for studing. Many thanks for sharing all these informations.
This play was a disappointment for me–and I knew the story, actually had read a lot about Beckett. Characters were quoting memorized lines, not much emotion in the lines as delivered, spoken to fast–no pauses which are in the original play direction. Seemed everyone was in a hurry to get it finished in 69 minutes and go home! Then when ticket prices were lowered (to $10 for some performances)–I knew disappointment was not just me!
^^^^Thank you for that clip, too cool. Pre-ordered Flyovers, look forward to getting it.
Wow! That’s a lotta hair! I agree with the post about the rushed lines – what is this? Is that John Malkovich?
