... and the props will be prominent, because ... The Dazzle is takes off on the real-life story of the Collyer brothers, who lived in a Harlem mansion cluttered with junk (eventually, 136 tons of it) from 1909-47 as the neighborhood around them -- and their own lives -- self-destructed.
Homer's a lawyer; Langley, a stay-at-home concert pianist who attracts the attentions of Milly Ashmore. All three are highly intelligent, highly articulate, and surrounded by piles of junk.
sounds great boys keep it up!
ReplyDeleteI pity the set dresser. Hopefully ARt has been stockpiling random items.
ReplyDeleteOh Mr. Bowen. Does The Dazzle run in January or February? (The ARt website and yours conflict, but yours seems more likely, strangely.)
ReplyDeleteThe ARt Web-Site is correct.
ReplyDeleteI have my tickets and they're for this Friday the 13th at 8PM
I am So EXCITED.
