Mask & Bauble and Nomadic Theatre join forces in this exciting co-production. Max harshly accuses his wife, Charlotte, of infidelity. Yet, after she slams the door, she speaks lovingly with a man named Henry in an eerily similar setting. Moments later, this playwright, Henry exchanges pleasantries with the very same Max from the previous scene. What is going on here? In The Real Thing, Tom Stoppard constantly challenges his audience to ask, "what is real?" Should we focus on art itself or on what that art does to us? Ludwig van Beethoven or Lady Gaga? Can we view things like love, friendship, or music in an objective lens, or should we simply trust the goosebumps that a certain experience gives us? Stoppard dares the audience to engage a new theatrical reality, one that passes in and out of a play-within-the-play, a movie set, and Henry's personal life.

After the end of World War II, the returning veterans are eager to start their new lives with the perfect woman. Plain-Jane Bianca matches the popular profile, and all the men are in hot-pursuit of her hand in marriage. However, one last great obstacle stands in the way of her pastel colored suburban bliss: her father will let none of them near her until Katherine, her ill-tempered older sister, is married. Comedy abounds when an ambitious young man, Petruchio, decides to court this volatile and rebellious daughter. After their marriage Petruchio sets about turning her into an obedient bride. Will Katherine free herself? Will her husband break her spirit and tame the shrew into the perfect housewife? In the last show of its 158th season, Mask & Bauble delivers a refreshing and modern interpretation of Shakespeare’s work The Taming of the Shrew, re-setting the show in the 1950s and taking a closer look at the work through a gender sensitive lens.

That is until Clay's mother, Carol, and his brother Cash, with his young Eastern European girlfriend come to have Thanksgiving dinner together. The events that unfold threaten to unsettle Clay and Kelly's lives as it becomes clear that their anti-Bush, liberal, philanthropic intentions don't reflect their selfish, empty, hypocritical actions. The elder daughter has a genital itch, there is a mysterious animal taking large bites out of the avocados, instead of a children's movie, porn keeps blasting out of the TV... the messiness of family life is sometimes too much for them to hold together and slowly the threads unravel as everything becomes a little less perfect.
THE 2009-2010 BLACK THEATER ENSEMBLE SEASON
The Quiet Violence of Dreams
American Premiere
Adapted by Ashraf Johaardien
From the novel by K. Sello Duiker
Directed by Kylé Pienaar (COL ‘12)

Based on the celebrated novel by K. Sello Duiker, The Quiet Violence of Dreams takes us to Cape Town, South Africa to journey through the lives of modern, urban Africans. Adapted by the promising South African playwright, Ashraf Johaardien, the story centers on Tshepo, a young student uncovering his identity and sexuality against the backdrop of a society in flux. After one of several stints in a mental hospital, Tshepo drops his studies and finds a job at a male massage parlor – where he prostitutes himself under the pseudonym Angelo. Through Tshepo, Ashraf Johaardien explores a raw and violent world – where the dark side of the city meets the dark side of a psyche coming to know itself. Despite its painful past and broken present, the world of the play is constantly underscored by love and redemption, transforming Duiker's social critique of South African race-relations, sexuality and modernity into a universal story about forgiveness, acceptance and the self. Please note that the performance includes mature subject matter, including violent imagery.
