HOW TO BE A CLIMATE HERO, by Audrey Schulman

HOW TO BE A CLIMATE HERO

by Audrey Schulman

One afternoon last summer, I was on a commuter train when I heard someone yelling behind me. I didn’t pay attention because I was breaking up a fight between my kids. I figured the noise was from some college students having fun. The third time the person yelled, I turned around.

It was a boy, about six years old. He was standing on his seat, screaming, “My mom’s having a seizure.” The only part of his mom I could see were her legs sticking out into the aisle, convulsing.

And arrayed around the train car, staring, were 40 other people, mouths open. Not one of them doing a thing...

Theatre Review: A Xmas Carol, November 30 to December 16, 2007, MSOPA

Presented by MSOPA Express O Theatre
Adapted and directed by Dale Hayes. Produced by Josa Maule.
November 30-December 16, 2007.

Charles Dickens revisited


It’s a curious thing to witness a fresh ‘take’ on, not an old but a revered theme, when a beloved classic—nostalgic Victoriana, no less—has already been immortalized on the silver screen, plus any number of contemporary ‘re-makes’ treading the same hallowed ground.

This time, the stage-setting at MSOPA is a darkened space with antique décor: the armchair, the candle-lights and drapery, the gold lettered shop-front of Marley and Scrooge. Fanciful props, costumes and disguisements are impressively crafted, with the occasional whimsical burlesque...

Back to the Future with Ibsen: Environmental Prophet


The stage-setting for Ibsen’s play is classic austerity, monotone elegance, the ‘epic’ gravitas of impending doom. This is hardly a bland 'feel good' piece of theatre, but instead a profound, demanding, thoughtful and curative tonic, a grand dose of ‘back to the future’ flavoured with ‘shock& awe’...

Family life in the war zone


Imagine the feminine mind, body and psyche under assault; the family as battleground—guilt, resentment, jealous possession, desolation and abandonment, sizzling love-hate arsenal flying all around. In the play, ‘Dating Jesus’ there are no heroes, anti-heroes or antagonists lurking on or off stage. Everyone is merely struggling to cope and survive cheek-by-jowl with one another in this excruciatingly tender, painful, searching and revealing, contemporary true-to-life drama. It’s an ongoing mélange of familial empathy, a volatile camaraderie that, every so often, detonates all over the place like domestic Semtex. In other words, family life as many of us may know it...

Brilliant stage-set from hell


Imagine a mammoth triptych of projection screens, ceiling probes and searchlights overlooking a rectangular sand-filled pit—and the whole lot bathed in overpowering blackness. This is the imaginative mixed-media stage décor that awaits you at the Bain St-Michel Theatre, located just off ‘the Main’ on the plateau.

As prelude to the drama, entitled Gas, ‘zen-like’ images of ocean waves soon give way to the grueling shocks, blasts and images of a desert war...
