To further our mission of exploring theatrical language, we are pleased to announce our new Translations & Adaptations reading series. Many of the works included in this series will be new versions, some of which will be presented in their first ever public reading. This is a wonderful opportunity to help the artistic process, as many of the writers will be in attendance, while also helping Remy Bumppo examine shows which may be a part of future mainstage seasons.

Don’t Look Now fuses the emotion of a grief-stricken couple with the tension of an old fashioned ghost story. A moving and haunting look at love and loss, Don’t Look Now was also an acclaimed 1973 film starring Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie.  Directed by Robin Witt.

 

This new version of Schnitzler’s 1897 examination of sexual morals and class ideology is adapted by Nicholas Rudall, founding director of the Court Theatre, and will be directed by David Darlow.
