Costco Kirkland Signature Brush Set

" A Streetcar Named Desire "

VICKY PEÑA, PRINCESS OF NEW ORLEANS

Author: Tennessee Williams. Version: José Luis Miranda. Address: Mario Gas. Set Design: Juan Sanz and Miguel Angel Coso. Costume: Antonio Belart. Starring: Vicky Peña, Roberto Alamo, Ariadna Gil, Alex Casanovas, Anabel Moreno, Pietro Olivera, Alberto Iglesias ... English Theatre. Madrid.

However much you try, it is difficult to find in the English stage actress of some forty years which can be Blanche du Bois imagine the talent and work to establish a proper and credible character Vicky Peña, the soul of this "Streetcar Named Desire" . Jessica Tandy and Vivien Leigh were both 38 when she gave birth, the first Broadway production in 1947 and in film in 1951, respectively, to the unforgettable loser. Yet, Pena makes you forget any reference: converted with unquestionable authority Blanche du Bois, appears in the eyes of respectable as a frail creature, vulnerable, imaginative, a fish out of water who does not understand the brutality of his brother, a tormented spirit seeks a little love but do so in the wrong way lies. Southern, almost Hollywood, as if out of an old film in Technicolor, Peña rounded work that reminds us, again, that probably is the great actress of her generation. Although they 'steal' roles at 38.

highlight is fair, round, notable works, such as Mitch Alex Casanovas, another loser unable to hold on to happiness, when it gets in the way because of prejudice, one of the issues addressed Tennessee Williams, who both went into hiding to escape suffering. Or the Alamo Robert Kowalski, away from the great reference of Brando: Poplar opt for the brutal, physical, desgradable it. It does so perfectly, it is a good actor, and him spitting his contempt for Blanche and Stella superiority while gobbling food speaks volumes about the character he has.

Although the choice of this shift toward a radical Kowalski us from the little empathy that could generate the rude employee. Gas-Mario seems impeccable, moreover, his direction of actors, had moral position, and that's a dangerous road to travel: Williams tried his characters?, Should be an abuser Kowalski devoid of any hint of seduction the climax of the drama, rather than drag Blanche seems to violate?

This does not negate the value of a beautiful and dynamic assembly: the scenery, like a section cut, shows the conflict in two-dimensional, no depth, and the atmosphere is conservative. But both are functional and appropriate to let it shine a great text, versioning elegantly by Jose Luis Miranda, and, above all, a great actress in full artistic maturity.

How High To You Hang Curtain Holdbacks

" Blacks "

NARROS nevertheless

Author: J. Genet. Adaptation J. Arecha pipe. Dir: M. Narros. Sets: A. D'Odorico. Costume: P. Delgado. Starring: B. Boiuka, O. Candela, C. Coelho, D'Noe, C. Mangue, P. Mitongo, E. Prince, J. Rope, L. Simeon I. Vidjrakou. Companies Canal. Madrid.

Go ahead this immolation before scholars stoned me: I am not enthusiastic "Blacks." Perhaps the only problem with this outstanding assembly Miguel Narros , which reconciles the Madrid scene with the talent of a great director somewhat diluted in recent years, is himself Jean Genet. In 1959 must have been a revolutionary text, an open wound in the flesh of a France that was beginning to receive the flow of migrants without assume. The 'outsider' Genet, Jarry and Ionesco's heir, the sanctimonious dynamite: Blacks are the same, outcasts and untouchables, and in this ceremonial is theater and trial, Genet unleashes his anger against the "establishment", represented in a masquerade the living forces of the West. The problem is that text today weighs heavily and meta and contribute little. It is difficult to connect to a dramatic device which makes it outdated modernism.

Fortunately, a veteran like Narros put all eggs in one basket with a montage vibrant, magical, ceremonial and pure communion between actors and ideas. The commitment to a cast of black actors is the key: the ideal delivery is an extra involvement. In this imaginary republic that is both tried and scenario-is deemed a murder, but until the end does not know if we are in a function, in a dream or a nightmare, there are echoes of Africa, New Orleans, Caribbean and decadent Europe. Narros masterfully captures it all-with a magnificent costumes and scenery made functional platforms, "and faces, bodies and voices that function as a cog in a choral work that captivates. Among them, despite her foreign accent, the master of ceremonies, Archibald, Elton Prince, the Village of Boré Bouika bright, the suburban Felicite and Bobo Noah and Carmen D'Mangue, the sensual sweetness of Jennifer Rope to the Vertu virtuous, and of course, the superb work of "art comedy dell 'powerful choir, Claudia Coelho, Candela and Isaac Vidjrakou Ovono.

Is There An Emulator That Trades On Mac

" Everything is tangled love "

communicating vessels

Author: D. Figueroa and Cordoba. Version: J. Salvatierra. Address: Á. Lavin. Starring: M. Camacho, M. Prado, F. Lane, J. Hidalgo, P. Andrés Sánchez ... JCNTC . Teatro Pavón. Madrid.

As adjacent rooms connected by a passageway maze favoring secret comic-galante 'Everything is tangled love "at this stage of the National Classical Theatre Company also operates theory of communicating vessels: the idea of \u200b\u200bhaving some veterans invited as Southern Theatre to lead the Young Company, the "quarry", all players under 30 years, albeit with a golden author "unknown" as Diego de Figueroa and Cordoba (his "debut" in the CNTC), bears fruit in a fun and fast mounting, with the verse well and an amazing acting block. Although sober and working the line earlier pieces like "The bravery Belisa "Southern stamp shows in gestures and expressions that refer to his most farcical as" Cyrano. " July Salvatierra, a solid playwright, achieved a text which is not close to public now follow clear, and fun games Alvaro Lavin voice builds with pianist-actor for the role, Ángel Galán, among other details.

The rest is a company that is surprising since his youth, fun and versatile is the protagonist, Mamen Camacho, in Helena with some rogue; next to it, very comical Juana Maria Prado, in his amorous point Manuela Paloma Sánchez de Andrés, very well also Slit Julio Hidalgo y Fernando and Hector Carballo, and, in general, a remarkable set. But you have to highlight a name, at least in the afternoon he saw who signs: Francesco Lane, in the leading ladies' man named Felix, is a waste of freshness, talent, variety and timber logs beau. You will hear about it.
