This is not just a reinterpretation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet; this is a spotlight on the many discrepancies and injustices women continue to face. Directed by Kim Strassburger, the play is practically brand new, having debuted last year at The Folger in DC, and now making its San Diego premiere with the most fitting theatre company.

When you start getting the hang of this play-seeing/reviewing thing, you begin to grasp the styles of different playwrights. Out of the many playwrights whose work I have seen, I think Branden Jacobs-Jenkins is probably the one I’ve experienced the most. He and William Shakespeare lol. So walking into La Jolla Playhouse’s West Coast premiere of the Tony Award-winning play Purpose, I already knew I was about to get layers, discomfort, and sharp humor.

The Play That Goes Wrong is exactly what the title promises: chaos, confusion, missed cues, collapsing sets, and absolute theatrical mayhem.

ÚLTIMOS ARTÍCULOS

Normalmente, cuando un libro inspira un formato cinematográfico, este no supera lo escrito. En el caso de Prada, es lo contrario. (Con el libro de Wicked, parecido, pero ese es tema para otra entrada). Y es que la guionista Aline Brosh McKenna le dio una buena sarandeada al libro de Weisberger, resultando en una película muy pop, pero también con mensaje. No solamente con respecto a la moda, al consumismo, a la fijación por el cuerpo esbelto de la mujer, etc. Hay mensajes sobre la relación de pareja, el equilibrio entre la vida y el trabajo, las luchas de poder y la traición en el mundo corporativo.

It was interesting to see Lorca’s reimagined The House of Bernarda Alba through Carlota: Alhajero de Secretos, written by Rodrigo García and Ugho Badú.
