Proclaimers Scale: 3 trips to Pluto X by Alistair McDowall. directed by Rosie Glen-Lambert (MFA 3) February 23 - March 2 |Mandell Weiss Theatre About the Show When X, by Alistair McDowall begins, we are introduced to five travelers waiting to be picked up from their mission on planet Pluto. We are in a near future where much of the earth is no longer habitable, and Pluto is being explored as a viable option for human life. But their research base has lost radio signal, and their expedition has already lasted much longer than expected. The group is tasked with trying to determine if their pickup is late, if their pickup is no longer coming, or--most frighteningly-if they've lost contact with their pickup because earth itself has ceased to exist. As the passing time becomes increasingly more difficult to track, events begin to move out of sequence, and the line between what is real and what isn't becomes blurred. The travelers are desperate to sort through their fragmented memories, and to maintain control of their own lives. X is an evocative, hilarious, and devastating play that uses the metaphor of being lost in space to explore the loss of personal and collective memory. As we as a planet creep closer and closer to having to face the existential threat of environmental degradation, X could not be more timely. How do we want to be remembered, and who will remain to remember us?

For over a decade, Fisayo Akinade has wowed audiences on stage and on screen. Returning to the Royal Court Theatre, he tells us about his love for the Royal Court as well as for playwright Alistair McDowall. After appearing in Pigs and Dogs and The Crossing Plays, Fisayo is getting ready to return to the Jerwood Theatre Downstairs space and explains to us why this theatre has become such a beloved institution among theatregoers. There has been much speculation around  The Glow following the enormous success of McDowall's earlier plays: X and Pomona, and it feels especially exciting for Fisayo who will get to premiere this new work alongside BAFTA winner Rakie Ayola, Tadhg Murphy and Ria Zmitrowicz.  After over 2 years away from the stage, Fisayo also reminisces about his time at the National Theatre, performing in shows such as The Antipodes and The Barber Shop Chronicles. We also get to hear him talk about the experience of watching himself during the National Theatre's At Home season during the first lockdown and working on the landmark adaptation of Romeo & Juliet which premiered in 2021. In this interview, Fisayo also tells us about his hopes for the future as the world continues to transition out of a pandemic. We  hear him reflect over the past few years and how he feels he has changed since his last on-stage performance. The Glow runs from 24th January - 5th March at the Royal Court Theatre.

From the gouging out of eyes in Shakespeare's King Lear or Sarah Kane's Cleansed, to the adaptation of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy, theatre has long been intrigued by the staging of challenging plays and impossible texts, images or ideas. Performing the Unstageable: Success, Imagination, Failure (Methuen Drama) examines this phenomenon of what the theatre cannot do or has not been able to do at various points in its history. The book explores four principal areas to which unstageability most frequently pertains: stage directions, adaptations, violence and ghosts. Karen Quigley incorporates a wide range of case studies of both historical and contemporary theatrical productions including the Wooster Group's exploration of Hamlet via the structural frame of John Gielgud's 1964 filmed production, Elevator Repair Service's eight-hour staging of Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and a selection of impossible stage directions drawn from works by such playwrights as Eugene O'Neill, Philip Glass, Caryl Churchill, Sarah Kane and Alistair McDowall. Placing theatre history and performance analysis in such a context, Performing the Unstageable values what is not possible, and investigates the tricky underside of theatre's most fundamental function to bring things to the place of showing: the stage. Karen Quigley is Lecturer in theatre at the University of York, UK. Her previous publications include contributions to European Drama and Performance Studies, Journal of Contemporary Drama in English, Radical Contemporary Theatre Practices by Women in Ireland and Performance Research. Originally from the North Shore in Massachusetts, Toney Brown is a theater director/performer in New York City. He studied Theater Arts at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. In NYC, was a Performance Project Fellow at the University Settlement and adapted Harmony Korine’s A Crack Up at the Race Riots at Theater for a New City’s Dream Up Festival. In addition, he was worked extensively with the director Dennis Yueh-yeh Li adapting King Lear, assistant directed Maeterlinck’s The Blind, and performing in his production of Albert Camus’ Caligula (Chaerea) as part of the New Ohio Theater’s Producers Club Festival. When he is not podcasting on NBN, he hosts NYTF Radio, a podcast exploring the history of Yiddish Theatre for the National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene, available on all platforms.
