I’ve loved just about everything I’ve seen at the Barrow Street Theatre in New York. One of my favorites was “Orson’s Shadow”.
I saw this a couple of seasons ago and it has really stuck with me. I would love to see it again.
Basically, it’s the story of Orson Wells, Laurence Olivier, Vivian Leigh and Joan Plowright working on a theatrical project together. Ms Plowright was Olivier’s wife after Miss Leigh and their affair is in the early stages in this play. It’s a great backstage story about theatre and theatrical egos. It was a very enjoyable night in the theatre. I wish someone would do it again.
Here are some scenes from YouTube of other regional productions of the show:
