For its third show of its 30th anniversary season, Theatre for a New Audience will present the New York premiere of C.I.C.T. / Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord production of
Love Is My Sin, the sonnets of William Shakespeare conceived and directed by
Peter Brook and performed by his wife,
Natasha Parry and
Michael Pennington.
Love Is My Sin, in which two lovers trace a magnificent, life-embracing arc of jealousy, guilt, adoration and anguish in Shakespeare"s sonnets, begins previews Thursday, March 25, at 8:00pm, opens Thursday, April 1, at 7:00pm for a run through April 17 at The Duke on 42nd Street
SM, a New 42nd Street® project, 229 West 42nd Street.
Franck Krawczyk plays the music of Louis Couperin (1626-1661) on keyboard and accordion. Lighting is designed by Philippe Vialatte.
Last season, Peter Brook directed the C.I.C.T./ Théâtre des Bouffes du Nord"s production of
The Grand Inquisitor featuring
Bruce Myers adapted from Dostoyevsky"s
The Brothers Karamazov by Marie-Hélène Estienne. The production was presented by Theatre for a New Audience and New York Theatre Workshop.
Love Is My Sin premiered in Paris at Bouffes du Nord April, 2009. The first series of performances were played by Natasha Parry and Bruce Myers. Subsequent to an engagement for Bruce Myers at the National Theatre in London a second successful European tour brought the outstanding Shakespeare actor Michael Pennington into the cast. We are very happy to announce that it is this fine actor Michael Pennington well known to American audiences who will be playing with Natasha Parry at The Duke on 42 Street.
Love Is My Sin features thirty-one sonnets chosen by Mr. Brook. To quote from Peter Brook: "To choose between 154 sonnets, I needed to find a dramatic continuity and was guided by the hidden tensions that arise in a relationship between two people.
Love Is My Sin allows us to penetrate into Shakespeare"s own, most secret life. It is his private diary, in which we find his intimate questions, his jealousy, his passions, his guilt, his despair. Above all, he searches to discover for himself the deep meaning of being attracted by a man, by a woman or even by the act of writing itself. This is neither a play nor a poetry recital. It catches the actors in human relationships. Then, at the very end, they become speakers for Shakespeare himself who wrote prophetically that his verse is stronger than time and will last forever."
