Fall Arts Guide | "Eurydice," "Spring Awakening" among Seattle fall theater highlights
"Eurydice," Broadway's "Spring Awakening" and a new play by Mike Daisey are highlights of the fall theater season in Seattle.
Seattle Times theater critic
"Eurydice." Sarah Ruhl's play imagines the mythic fable of Orpheus through the experience of his doomed wife, Eurydice, winning much praise as (according to The New Yorker) a drama that evokes "a surreal world, as lush and limpid as a dream." Sept. 11-Oct. 5, ACT Theatre.
"Saint Heaven." With a score that interweaves country, gospel and R&B tunes, this touted new musical, an interracial 1950s romance with spiritual overtones set in rural Kentucky, has its second full production at Village Theatre. Sept. 17-Oct. 26 at Francis J. Gaudette Theatre in Issaquah and Oct. 31-Nov. 23 at the Everett Performing Arts Center.
"Spring Awakening." Frank Wedekind's bold 1891 drama, about a teen romance doomed by the sexual fears and hypocrisy of adults, has transformed into a rock-fueled Broadway sensation, with Tony-honored music by Duncan Sheik and dances by Bill T. Jones. Oct. 14-19, Paramount Theatre.
"Boom." The hip, hearty, award-winning San Francisco playwright Peter Sinn Nachtrieb makes his Seattle debut, with a recent Off Broadway hit about two strangers who realize the post-apocalyptic world depends on their coupling. Talk about date pressure. Nov. 13-Dec. 14, Seattle Repertory Theatre's Leo K. Theatre.
"The Moon Is a Dead World." Given how much we see of Mike Daisey, it is as if this hot writer-actor-raconteur never moved to New York. Seattle even gets the jump on Daisey's first produced multiactor play, premiering at Annex Theatre, about a dead Soviet cosmonaut called back to Earth during the Cold War. OK, Mike, we're game. Oct. 17-Nov. 15, Annex Theatre.
