Pee-Wee As Himself is an HBO Max two-part documentary exploring the life and career of Paul Reubens, known for his character Pee-wee Herman. Directed by Matt Wolf, Pee-wee as Himself is constructed around over 40 hours of candid interviews with Reubens, conducted before his passing in 2023. The film delves into his early influences in circus and avant-garde theater, his meteoric rise with Pee-wee's Playhouse and Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and the deliberate separation he maintained between his personal identity and his Pee-wee persona. The documentary also addresses the controversies that impacted Reubens' career, including his 1991 arrest and the 2002 charges related to vintage erotica, which were later dropped. In a poignant final audio message recorded shortly before his death, Reubens reflects on the pain of being misunderstood and emphasizes the importance of self-acceptance and non-conformity—a message he consistently aimed to impart to his audience. Joining Kate is two-time Emmy and Grammy award-winning comedian Kathy Griffin, one of Paul Reubens good friends.

Um marco na história do teatro brasileiro chega a Nova York em uma versão inédita. O clássico “Vestido de Noiva”, de Nelson Rodrigues, terá três apresentações no Playhouse 46, entre os dias 16 e 18 de maio, com um elenco formado por artistas brasileiros e estrangeiros. A montagem celebra a diversidade da cena artística da cidade e leva ao público americano um texto revolucionário da dramaturgia latino-americana. Luciana Rosa, correspondente da RFI em Nova YorkA iniciativa é resultado de uma colaboração entre artistas e a produtora Are We In Love?, com o objetivo de apresentar a obra ao público internacional. O ator e produtor Daniel Mazzarolo conta que a ideia surgiu do desejo de deixar uma marca na cidade: “A gente começou a conversar sobre essa vontade de deixar uma marca em Nova York, digamos assim.”Escrita em 1943, “Vestido de Noiva” é considerada a peça que revolucionou o teatro moderno no Brasil. Com estrutura não linear, a trama acompanha Alaíde, uma jovem no leito de morte, navegando entre lembranças, delírios e realidade. A peça explora temas universais como repressão, culpa, moralidade e loucura, rompendo padrões e revelando os conflitos mais profundos da psique e da sociedade.A direção é assinada por Julia Burnier, que descreve o processo como uma jornada intensa. Segundo ela, o projeto começou em janeiro, quando se reuniu com Daniel e com a atriz Ana Moioli. “Foi uma loucura. Eu queria muito dirigir uma peça aqui em Nova York. Já dirigi muito em São Paulo e vim pra cá estudar atuação. Quando começamos a pensar em qual autor trazer, escolhemos Nelson Rodrigues de cara. O público americano não conhece nada de dramaturgia brasileira, então resolvemos trazer o nosso Rodrigues. E ‘Vestido de Noiva' é a minha peça favorita.”Julia destaca ainda que foi um trabalho totalmente independente, um verdadeiro passion project. “Você precisa de muita garra para produzir desse jeito, mas conseguimos reunir uma comunidade brasileira incrível, com artistas de várias nacionalidades — americanos, australianos — algo muito característico de Nova York.”A produção conta também com Catarina Aranha e Beatriz Silva, além de um elenco formado por Ana Moioli, Daniel Mazzarolo, Debora Balardini e Ma Troggian. Catarina, que também assina o figurino, diz ter se apaixonado pela peça ao conhecê-la por meio de Julia: “Ela me trouxe esse projeto lá por fevereiro, março. Nunca tinha lido essa peça, mas fiquei alucinada. Já tinha feito um filme do Nelson Rodrigues e amo a obra dele.”Daniel explica que, como não houve tempo hábil para aplicar a editais e buscar grants (subvenções), a equipe apostou em parcerias com empresas brasileiras sediadas em Nova York e em outras partes dos Estados Unidos para viabilizar o projeto. “Foi a forma mais rápida de conseguir o dinheiro.”No figurino, Catarina precisou adaptar os desejos criativos às limitações orçamentárias. “Tinha que ser algo possível de concretizar. Conforme a verba foi aparecendo, a gente foi criando. Foi um mergulho muito grande.”A peça e o idioma“Vestido de Noiva” será apresentado com legendas em inglês, mas adaptar o texto de Rodrigues para uma plateia estrangeira exigiu cuidados. Daniel reconhece que há uma complexidade no estilo do autor: “Tem muita coisa que a gente resolve na atuação. O texto traz uma carga melodramática, mas é uma sofisticação da cultura brasileira. Isso, pra mim, é uma grande qualidade.”Ana Moioli, que interpreta Alaíde, concorda. Para ela, o texto permite uma grande liberdade criativa, ainda que exija sensibilidade na interpretação: “O texto é muito aberto, e esse é um dos maiores valores do Nelson como dramaturgo. Ele nos dá espaço para criar, mesmo sendo fiel ao que está escrito.”Uma peça, três planosSegundo Daniel, a escolha por “Vestido de Noiva” também se deu por seu caráter disruptivo. “Dentro da obra do Nelson, essa peça é icônica. Não tem começo, meio e fim de forma tradicional. Ela viaja no tempo e entre três planos: o da realidade, o da memória e o da alucinação, todos sob a perspectiva da protagonista.”Outro contexto culturalMontar "Vestido de Noiva" em Nova York é, por si só, um feito ousado. Nelson Rodrigues, mestre em desvelar as contradições da sociedade brasileira, construiu uma obra que exige entrega total de quem está em cena. A peça, que se desenrola em três planos — realidade, memória e alucinação — é como um quebra-cabeça emocional que o público monta a partir das pistas deixadas pelos personagens. Para Fabiana, que vive na cidade há mais de oito anos, o desafio ganhou uma camada extra: o idioma.“Eu sou muito self-conscious com o meu inglês. Sempre fui”, conta ela, com franqueza e humor. “Eu brinco que... não é que vai ter um sotaque, eu sou um sotaque. Eu não consigo nem espirrar sem as pessoas me perguntarem de onde eu sou.”O enfrentamento dessa barreira linguística ganha ainda mais peso quando se trata de dar voz a Nelson Rodrigues em outra língua — e em outro continente. A tradução, nesse caso, não é apenas do português para o inglês, mas de uma linguagem carregada de brasilidade, subtexto e crítica social para um novo contexto cultural. É quase como traduzir um sotaque da alma.Fabiana conhece bem essa tensão. No Brasil, o sotaque baiano também foi motivo de insegurança. “Lá eu achava que tinha que mudar a maneira de falar para ser aceita. Hoje, não. Como diz na Bahia, eu só quero fazer o que é meu.” Essa aceitação ecoa com força em sua atuação, num momento em que ela não só representa um texto clássico, mas também sua própria identidade no palco."Vestido de Noiva" estará em cartaz por apenas um final de semana no Playhouse46, em Nova York, mas promete ser um pequeno passo dentro de uma promissora trajetória desse grupo de ativadores do teatro brasileiro fora do país. Uma rara e potente oportunidade de ver Nelson Rodrigues traduzido — não só no idioma, mas também pela coragem de quem, como Fabiana, transforma a própria trajetória em cena.

Few contemporary actors better represent the bravado and edginess of New York City natives than Natasha Lyonne. Over a four-decade career that began with a role on Pee-wee’s Playhouse, Lyonne has become known for portraying characters that are gruff but likable, hard-nosed but sympathetic. She’s exhibited these traits in films ranging from Everyone Says I Love You to American Pie; but her brashness truly hit the mainstream in 2013, upon the release of Netflix’s Orange Is The New Black. That show kicked off a run on television that has found her as the creator and star of recent hits such as Russian Doll and Poker Face, the latter of which just released its much-anticipated second season. On this week’s episode of Table for Two, the actress joins host Bruce Bozzi to discuss New Yorkers’ street smarts, why she loves Richard Pryor’s Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life Is Calling, and the genius of Maya Rudolph.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Sunday evening on "Sunday Night Playhouse", Vintage Classic Radio brings you a rare sci-fi double bill from the archives of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Our first feature is a haunting adaptation from CBC Sunday Theatre in Calgary, H.G. Wells' story, "The Crystal Egg", originally aired on March 26. 1972. Long before he unleashed the Martian apocalypse in "The War of the Worlds", Wells hinted at interplanetary observation with his eerie tale of a London curiosity shop owner who stumbles upon a mysterious crystal orb -- one that reveals visions of life on Mars. As the elderly shopkeeper becomes obsessed with the glimpses he sees, the story draws us into questions of surveillance, alien life, and the limitations of human understanding. This compelling dramatization stars Henry Comer, was adapted by Leslie McFarlane, and brought to life under the direction of Fred Diehl.Next, we journey deeper into the cosmos with an atmospheric production from "The Mystery Theatre", one of CBC's most ambitious dramatic efforts, featuring weekly thrillers from across Canada. In this 1968 adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's gripping short story "Breaking Strain", two astronauts aboard a space freighter bound for Venus face the ultimate moral dilemma when a catastrophic systems failure reveals there's only enough oxygen for one man to survive. What begins as a cool-headed conversation between professionals devolves into a chilling study of human instinct, fear and the ethical boundaries of survival. Crafted with the CBC's signature dramatic flair, the production underscores Clarke's mastery of psychological tension and philosophical depth in the face of technological isolation. Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of early science fiction storytelling from two literary giants, tonight on Vintage Classic Radio.

In the long lineup of fictional hard-boiled detectives, Philip Marlowe stands out as one of the earliest and best. Raymond Chandler's creation first reached print in the early 1930s, then went on to memorable adaptations in film, television, and of course radio. "The Adventures of Philip Marlowe" had a solid four-year run of well over 100 episodes on CBS. Still, a handful of recordings are lost today.  Now Project Audion recreates one of these missing episodes - "The Quiet Number" - directly from the original script, exactly seventy-five years after it was broadcast. "The Quiet Number" wasn't penned by Chandler, but we meet the son of the man who wrote this and most of Marlowe's other radio adventures. Then our transcontinental voice cast performs this gritty story of lost love in a hot Los Angeles summer via a live transcription that sounds just like 1949. Our versatile voice actors were: Andy Hartson-bowyer in Virginia Richard Durrington in Idaho Gary Layton in Texas Lothar Tuppan in California Kristen James in Nevada Holly Adams in New York Kyle Bonn in Oregon Larry Groebe produced and directed from Texas Learn more about your ad choices.

This time, it's remake of another "Quiet Please" episode, entitled "How Are You, Pal?" It's not a lost episode, but the only existing copy of the original is so badly damaged that it is barely audible. Director Pete Lutz hopes this remake comes close to creator Wyllis Cooper's original vision – the story of a man who reaches out to an old friend to get the answers to some pretty pertinent questions.
