Target Margin Theater presents The Agument/Dinner Party, a double bill of one-act plays, directed by David Herskovits,opening at The Kitchen on 16 Jun 2007, following previews from 14 Jun and running through to 30 Jun 2007.
The Argument, is both written and performed by David Greenspan. The play is based on Aristotle's Poetics, and is a passionate student's love-letter and farewell to his teacher.
Dinner Party,an adaptation of Plato's Symposium, takes on love from every angle, delving into the original text to bring out the philosophy and lust, language and appetite, the abstract challenges to our dearly held prejudices -- not to mention the really good wine. The cast features Han Nah Kim, Diana Konopka, Mary Neufeld, Steven Rattazzi, Greig Sargeant, Stephanie Weeks and Ian Wen.
Set design by Sarah Edkins, with costumes by Asta Bennie Hostetter, lighting by Lenore Doxsee and sound by Jane Shaw.
