Stage: The Master Builder (NYC)

The Resonance Ensemble/Harold Clurman Theatre; New York City; May 9 – June 5, 2010

The Resonance Ensemble, founded in 2001, offers an unusual and stimulating repertory season each year, consisting of a classic play in repertory with a new play inspired by it, as for example the 2007 repertory of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard paired with Arthur Giron’s The Coffee Trees, a variation on Chekhov’s themes set in contemporary Guatemala. The 2010 repertory departs somewhat from this practice by pairing The Master Builder with a play not inspired by it, but with a similar theme, June Finfer’s The Glass House, a portrayal of the real-life architect Mies van der Rohe late in his career as he struggles to maintain his position and power.
