Springfield StageWorks presents a staged reading of an imaginative new play about the famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Making its area premiere at Wright's Westcott House, "Work Song - Three Views of Frank Lloyd Wright" is an in-depth look at the master builder at three distinct phases of his life and career: in Act One, as a young man in a hurry to change the way people live and finding inspiration in Mamah Cheney, a unconventional married woman who becomes the great love of his life and leads to his greatest tragedy; in Act Two, as a doubting genius at the crossroads, fending off creditors and reeling in clients before he salvages himself by coming up with one of his greatest creations, the house called “Fallingwater”; and in Act Three, as an old showman at twilight, visiting a house from his past and taking stock of his sacrifices and successes in his quest to build the perfect dwelling. WORK SONG is about Wright’s ideas, his passions, his love affairs and his tragedies. It’s a play about a man who wanted to create the perfect home for the American family but could never build one for himself.
Fabulous presentation last Friday night (10-26-07) of NOSFERATU at the State! I hope you are condemned to putting this on every Halloween for the rest of your lives -- mooh-ha-ha-haa-haaaa!!!
