Widely considered one of Shakespeare's greatest works, "The Tempest" lyrically tells the story of Prospero, an exiled duke who reigns over an enchanted island where fantastical creatures, mystery, music and romance abound.

Let yourself be swept away by this charming WSC Avant Bard production of "The Tempest" at Gunston Arts Center in Arlington. [less-]

This ambitious ancient-modern mashup shows the spark of the culture war between Italian Renaissance artist and smoldering sensualist Sandro Botticelli, who's in the midst of painting his famed Venus on a half-shell, and the conservative priest who's challenging the relaxed morality of Lorenzo de Medici's Florence. That real-life historical conflict led to the "bonfire of the vanities" -- the burning of "sinful" items like art and books. Inspired by these actual events, Canadian playwright Jordan Tannahill gives Botticelli an apprentice/lover (none other that Leonardo da Vinci), and then traps him between the church and the powerful Medicis, forcing him to make an impossible choice. This American premiere of "Botticelli in the Fire" closes out the Woolly Mammoth Theatre's 38th season. [less-]

It's New Year's Day 1960, on New York's Upper West Side. Marilyn Monroe is the biggest star on the planet. So why is she huddled in a drugged, inert heap, in the bedroom of her acting coach -- the iconic master of the Actor's Studio, Lee Strasberg? Conscience Drama Directive's production of "Nobody Dies on Friday" dissects that dilemma at Atlas' Lab I Theatre -- and what is revealed is no walk in Central Park. This D.C. premiere is Robert Brustein's grim, acerbic, and rueful memory of a peculiarly American mid-century time -- a toxic interplay of fame, artistry and ambition; of giddy aspiration and aesthetic confusion -- when stage and screen fought one another for primacy.
