SHAKER-UPPER OF CLASSICS

Nova Arts Project

This cheeky fledgling company specializes in offbeat “rethinks” of classic plays. It stirred debate with such projects as the War of Roses Cycle (idiosyncratic digest versions of eight Shakespeare history plays) and its punchy dance-theater reimagining of Euripides’ The Bacchae. The best yet was Jeff Goode’s Love Loves a Pornographer, a highly original postmodern take on Victorian drawing-room comedy.

Nova Arts Project encourages it’s friends to see BENEDICTUS by Motti Lerner – FREE!

Motti Lerner

BENEDICTUS
directed by John Johnston

The CTC will be hosting notable Israeli political playwright Motti Lerner on Thursday November 13. He has selected his topical play Benedictus to be read at Main Street Theater’s Chelsea Market theater. Set 72 hours before an imminent attack on Iran by the United States, three politicians are mired in negotiations at an ancient monastary outside of Rome. A politically charged play, Benedictus highlights the struggle between both countries and personal relationships. There will be a post show discussion and reception following the reading.

When: Thursday November 13 @ 8pm
Where: Main Street Theater – Chelsea Market 4617 Montrose Blvd. Houston, TX 77006
Tickets: Free admission
