Playbill Features: LONDON STAGES by Sheridan Morley Amy's author, the dramatist David Hare, is also on a roll: He takes to the stage (for the first time since, as a schoolboy, he co-starred with his fellow playwright Christopher Hampton in A Man for All Seasons) for a solo show about his travels through Israel, Via Dolorosa. Hare is also responsible for the adaptation of Schnitzler's Vienna 1900's classic, La Ronde, which -- as The Blue Room -- now gives Nicole Kidman her first London stage role. At a time when actresses of a certain age are rightly pointing out that the roles available to them are nowhere near as tempting as those on offer to the leading men of their generation, it does seem that the sexual imbalance is starting to shift in their favor. www.playbill.com /features/article/64813.html   (591 words)

wbur.org Arts - Op-Eds - Pound the Pipes It seems a long time ago now, but back in the '70s and '80s, David Hare, Howard Barker, Caryl Churchill, and others specialized in an explosive political stagecraft that, in Brenton's words, dreamed "of a play acting like a bushfire, smoldering into public consciousness. Three years ago, Woodruff took up another neglected English political playwright, Edward Bond, when he staged a superb production of "Saved." This was Bond's groundbreaking 1965 study of social violence that features one of the dramatist's most controversial images: street thugs nonchalantly stoning a baby to death. Brenton is an important member of a generation of talented left-wing playwrights whose scripts are worth another look. www.wbur.org /arts/2003/49705_20031106.asp   (2166 words)

Japan Times: Going full circle for sex and romance Several decades later, renowned British dramatist David Hare duly took up the challenge, embroidering Schnitzler's rich cloth to create "The Blue Room." With Sam Mendes (yet to win his directorial Oscar for "American Beauty") at the helm, and starring Nicole Kidman, this version became a box-office sensation during its short season in London in 1998. It wasn't until 1950 that the play finally broke the chains of censorship, when French director Max Ophls made it into the hit movie "La Ronde" -- so called because it depicts a game of sexual roundelay, in which a single pair of actors in changing roles play out a sequence of encounters. When, in 1921, Schnitzler finally decided to go ahead with a staging, the premiere in Vienna ended prematurely when police brought down the curtain. www.japantimes.co.jp /cgi-bin/makeprfy.pl5?ft20011212a2.htm   (599 words)
