HIGHWAY CROSSING OR A TALE OF A GOLDEN FISH

Written by Jean Tatte
Directed by Guy De Lancey
With Jason Potgieter, Luke Ellenbogen, Deborah Vieyra & Andrew Laubscher

On first appearance Tatte’s plays seem to be very simple, but this simplicity is deceptive. The fluent and easily spoken dialogue tricks the reader or the viewer into a net of multi-level verbal misunderstandings and mental air pockets, from which one doesn’t try to escape. It’s good to be trapped in that net. It’s a game.

ENDGAME

Written by Samuel Beckett
Directed by Luke Ellenbogen
With Guy De Lancey, Adrian Collins, Nicholas Ellenbogen and Liz Szymcza

Beckett is one of the most celebrated and influential dramatists of the twentieth century. His 1953 play Waiting for Godot with its incongruent plot and seemingly pointless dialogue, helped advance the concept of a “Theatre of the Absurd” and is regarded as a masterpiece. Beckett’s plays utilize non-standard and minimalist staging techniques and experimental language and character development. Beckett continually strove to remove the physicality of the dramatic experience, e.g. elaborate staging, intricate sets, etc., in an attempt to illustrate the inner turmoil of humanity, and to force the audience to reach a higher level of understanding without relying on the traditional forms of theatre. Beckett’s innovative style and stark exploration into the human condition were considered ground-breaking and his influence is apparent throughout contemporary theatre right around the world.
