The traditional structure of the play represents a departure for Lee, who is highly acclaimed for her adventurous experimental style. In fact, prior to the show, a member of her theatre company jokingly warned the audience that the characters would not be acknowledging us; that they would exist only within the world of the play.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-exclusive"> <div class="field-label">Exclusive:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Not Exclusive </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-float field-field-stars"> <div class="field-label">Stars:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 5 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-show-dates"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Show Dates:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-start">Wed, 2015-06-03</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">Sat, 2015-06-06</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-theatre"> <div class="field-label">Theatre:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/theatres/fleck-dance-theatre">Fleck Dance Theatre</a> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://www.theatromania.ca/news/straight-white-men" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.theatromania.ca/news/straight-white-men#comments Reviews World Stage Thu, 04 Jun 2015 04:00:00 +0000 Annie Hodgins 976 at http://www.theatromania.ca She She Pop & Their Fathers: Testament http://www.theatromania.ca/news/she-she-pop-their-fathers-testament <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-header-images"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_header_images" width="640" height="457" alt="" src="http://www.theatromania.ca/sites/default/files/SheShePop.jpg?1366166147" /> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-subtitle"> <div class="field-label">Subtitle:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>Shakespeare is a family affair for German performance collective She She Pop</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-headline"> <div class="field-label">Headline:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Review </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-credits"> <div class="field-label">Credits:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <p>Presented by World Stage<br />A She She Pop Production<br />In co-production with the Hebbel am Ufer Berlin, Kampnagel Hamburg and FFT Düsseldorf</p> </div> </div> </div> <p>Every old man is a King Lear, Goethe once observed.</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-exclusive"> <div class="field-label">Exclusive:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Not Exclusive </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-number-float field-field-stars"> <div class="field-label">Stars:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 4 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-show-dates"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Show Dates:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-start">Wed, 2013-04-17</span><span class="date-display-separator"> - </span><span class="date-display-end">Sat, 2013-04-20</span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-nodereference field-field-theatre"> <div class="field-label">Theatre:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <a href="/theatres/harbourfront-centre-theatre">Harbourfront Centre Theatre</a> </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://www.theatromania.ca/news/she-she-pop-their-fathers-testament" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://www.theatromania.ca/news/she-she-pop-their-fathers-testament#comments Harbourfront Centre Multimedia Reviews World Stage Thu, 18 Apr 2013 04:00:00 +0000 Lauren Gillett 447 at http://www.theatromania.ca
