“To Be or Not to Be…” Free
This classic novel
from yesteryear by Anthony Burgess has been adapted by the author for the stage
and is directed by the Artistic Director of B&B, Cassie Greer and
choreographed by Mandana Khoshnevisan.
It is playing at their own space, The Vault Theatre, 350 E. Main St. in
downtown Hillsboro, through October 27th. For more information, go to their site at www.bagnbaggage.org or call 503-345-9590.
What to do…what to
do…when faced with the above dilemma?
Sounds easy, doesn’t it? But with
choosing Freedom, that comes with responsibility, and not just for yourself but
for others, as well and Nature. Or, to
live in a world where everything is decided for you, even what you believe or
think, or what is good or what is evil (via Orwell’s 1984). But, whatever you decide, it
involves…Choice. Ah, “there’s the rub.”
Alex (Aaron Cooper
Swor), in this futuristic society (or alternate universe) in London, is the
leader of a gang, the Droog’s, consisting of George (Ty Hendrix), Pete (Abrar
Haque) and Dim (Eric St. Cyr), who terrorize the city streets and its citizens,
including one F. Alexander (Robert Durante), the future author of this novel. Alex has been warned by his teacher, Mr.
Deltoid (TS McCormick), that he must chang his ways or risk going to prison, if
his antics turn deadly. And, sure
enough, one night on a home invasion, an old lady dies, and so it is reform
time for ole Alex.
In prison, he comes
across a holier-than-thou Chaplin (Joey Copsey), who tries his best to “save
Brother Alex,” who plays along for a while, as he’s heard of a program where,
if he resorts to certain tests by the powers-that-be, he can gain his freedom. And so, with the permission of the chameleon,
Minister of the Interior (James Luster), and the
administrator of the tests, Dr. Brodsky (Andrew Beck), they proceed. In essence, the tests consist of
brainwashing, so that he is revolted by thoughts of violence (as well as any
kind of passion, as well). But society
(and the author) are not so easily appeased and so we are faced with, perhaps,
being safe but stupid, or being free but uncertain. The Choice is Ours!
This is a highly
inventive production by Greer and her choreographer, as many stylized dances
and movements, as well as music are present, and songs. The innovative lighting (Jim Ricks-White),
versatile set (Tyler Buswell) and bland costumes (Melissa Heller), all add to
the dark magic of the production. And
many kudos to the cast, who play a variety of roles, as they are quite
marvelous! And Swor, as the lead
character, is amazing in a difficult role.
Greer has tackled
what would have appeared to be an impossible dream and has created rainbows for
us to enjoy and ponder. She is a
tremendous actor in her own right, as well as the artistic creator of literary
classics. “May she live long and
prosper!”
I highly recommend
this play. If you do choose to see it,
please tell them Dennis sent you.
