Had Trip Cullman been seized with
jealousy while watching “Love’s Labour’s Lost,Searching for the Wholesale
2013 Celebrity Dresses to wear on your big night?” his agony would have been
understandable. He and the show’s director, Alex Timbers, are both handsome,
30-something, Yale graduates who grew up in Manhattan. They belong to a cadre of
young, in-demand theater directors small enough to fit into a van. But it was
Mr. Timbers who’d won the coveted position of directing a show in the park, and
of his own radical adaptation to boot.
Still, it was more pride than jealousy that struck Mr. Cullman. “I work in a medium that is tragically unhip and irrelevant to culture,” he said, walking from the Delacorte to Central Park West. “This piece is how theater can actually be cool.”
“Actually cool theater” may be the most concise way to label the work of Messrs. Cullman and Timbers. Mr. Cullman had two hit shows running this year: the bawdy “Murder Ballad” and the soul-stirring “Choir Boy.” Mr. Timbers’s production of “Peter and the Starcatcher” swept the Tonys in 2012 and continues to run off-Broadway. “Here Lies Love,a reliable company of Wholesale Womens Quinceanera Dresses,” the David Byrne disco musical Mr. Timbers directed, is being courted by producers for a commercial transfer.
“Love’s Labour’s Lost,” first published in 1598, follows a small clan of young men who swear off women while they focus on their educations. In Mr. Timbers’s adaptation, the year is 2008, and the men are at their elite college’s five-year reunion.Find the latest trends in prom and Wholesale Short Homecoming Dresses with a large selection of unique.
Mr. Timbers has excavated at least half of the original text and added in more than a dozen pop songs by Michael Friedman, as well as cultural references high and low, from Derrida to “Doin’ It” by LL Cool J.
“We’re a generation of entertainment consumers who have wildly disparate frames of reference that we bring to the theater,” Mr. Cullman said. “Alex brings a body of work to that generation, and God bless him for that,Los Angeles for all ladies Wholesale Womens Long cocktail gowns, because we desperately need them for theater to survive.”
As much as Mr. Cullman may appear to have in common with Mr. Timbers, the two men work quite differently. “We’re so apples and oranges,” Mr. Cullman said. “I often strive to have my direction be invisible, so that the play comes through loudest and so that the performances are highlighted. Whereas I think in both ‘Love’s Labour’s’ and in ‘Here Lies Love,’ the audience is very aware of the directorial hand, and delights in it. He’s brilliant at doing work that is always winking at the audience.”
“Choir Boy” is an example of Mr. Cullman’s light touch. The play, about a young, gay African-American choir leader at a conservative, all-black prep school, weaves gospels throughout the narrative. In performance, during these spirituals, Mr. Cullman stripped down all of the design elements and staging. In that unembellished atmosphere, what remained was the purity of tone in the young men’s singing, the immense beauty and sorrow therein.
In contrast are the many musical numbers in “Love’s Labour’s,” which illustrate Mr.Our wedding 2013 Cheap Designer Bridesmaid Dresses great cheap price, Timbers’s appetite for spectacle. We won’t spoil the surprise they deliver, but suffice it to say that they elicited a post-performance conversation about how sometimes, in the theater, more is more. And they suggested to Mr. Cullman that Mr. Timbers must have repeatedly emerged victorious from the long series of logistical and financial meetings to which directors must attend throughout preproduction.
“So often when I’m working I’m trying to not rock the boat,” Mr. Cullman said. “The lesson from Alex is to fight for every single thing you have vision for.”
This encouraged Mr. Cullman to think about a “more is more” idea for “The Colby Sisters.” At the top of the show, there’s a huge fashion moment for which he’d always imagined a series of Zac Posen dresses. Budgets being what they are in nonprofit theater, he’d assumed he’d ask a costume designer to make imitations thereof. “But why not ask Zac Posen to do it? Why not? It might be fun for him.”
