Presented by I.R.T. Theater, by Susan I. Weinstein, directed by Marcus Gualberto,
December 19-22nd at 7:30, full length play (approx 90 minutes)
Tix 10., 5. for students and Seniors
ETHER is a play within a play, a story told with the aid of projections, puppetry,
and stage magic. Doyle and Houdini’s afterlife is a continuation of a passionate personal war about the nature of life and death. Yet their worlds are contained within the afterlife–our present in abstracted media. Their wives, Bess and Lady Doyle, are aware of this, yet tethered to their husband’s worlds. They join forces to resolve the bitter conflict so all can move on. The journey starts with the origins of Houdini’s persona, his escapes and Doyle’s vocation and revelations. Together they investigate mediums, famous and infamous; Mr. Powell, Margery, Eva C and even Lady Doyle. Each instance they emerge with dramatically opposite narratives. As evidence mounts up. Subjective and objective truths erupt in a transcendent conclusion.
