Thought I was just going to see my study mate on stage and didn’t have any expectations but the play turned out amazing! So if you’re in Amsterdam and you like theater (and even if you do not yet), I really recommend seeing it. Playing a self-invited failed sex bomb invading the house of her former high-school boyfriend, played very subtly and cooly by Denis Burke, locked in a boring middle class marriage, we watch a storm of feminine manipulation, as the folder says, “rock like a hurricane”. The last play “Wanda’s Visit” took the house down with a stunningly funny bubbling and surprising Borislava Todorova who stole the show. Ben Evans and Silvia Pietrosanti found exactly the right tone to communicate their miscommunication. All the acting and directing was marvelous! The second play “Pig in the Middle” was language-wise the most eloquent. Five one-act plays about the struggles and absurdities of love. “Love in Pieces” was a feast of entertainment. This amateur production is presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Limited The plays All over Me, & In the Meantime were developed with The CRY HAVOC Company (Wanda’s Visit is a short play by Christopher Durang (1986). With Borislava Todorova, Denis Burke, Katharina Olsen, Brian Ligthart, Ben Evans & Andy Cowie With João Calado, Brian Ligthart & Katharina Olsen. Love in Pieces played on January 17 & 24, 2019, at De Nieuwe Anita The running order: We present a hand-picked selection of one-acts, sourced from five inspiring playwrights, from the well-versed Christopher Durang and the versatile Michael Frayn, to a troop of lesser-known, aspiring young writers from the New York based CRY HAVOC collective: Kitt Lavoie, Sharon E.
Downstage Left welcomes you to an evening of entertainment, laughter and possibly a few (happy) tears.
