Berkeley, Calif. ? March 2019 ? UC Berkeley?s Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) will cap off its 2018?2019 season with The House of the Spirits , a play by Caridad Svich based on the best-selling novel by Isabel Allende. Directed by Michael Moran, this poetic adaptation with Svich?s original songs runs April 26 through May 5 in the Playhouse at Zellerbach Hall. Patrons may purchase tickets for $13?20 through the TDPS online box office or at the door.
Charting the rise and fall of the Trueba family in an unnamed Latin American country, the play spans five decades as the country moves through enormous socio-political changes that culminate in a devastating dictatorship. The play is told from the point of view of the youngest of three generations of women, Alba, who is held for interrogation by the government as the play opens. The swirling memories, frightening and amusing, lyrical and fantastic, illuminate the stage as Alba records her famil ...

Photo: Rich Lam/UBC Thunderbirds Although volleyball is a limited-contact sport, many volleyball players still sustain concussions from unfortunate encounters with high-speed balls. Now investigators at the University of British Columbia have found that the brand and model of the volleyball that athletes use may play a role in determining their risk of injury. The researchers […]

Beckett / Fornés / Pinter: Student-directed one-act plays confront issues of memory, communication,

Berkeley, Calif. ? March 2019 ? UC Berkeley?s Department of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies (TDPS) presents Beckett / Fornés / Pinter: Student-Directed One-Act Plays. The showcase of unconventional, modernist plays will include Footfalls by Irish playwright Samuel Beckett, Silence by British playwright Harold Pinter, and Springtime by Cuban American playwright María Irene Fornés. The show opens Thursday, March 14 and continues through Sunday, March 17 in Durham Studio Theater at UC Berkeley.
According to Prof. Peter Glazer, who is mentoring the student directors, the three plays share a central theme of the human desire to make sense of the world. Whether addressing memory, communication, or relationships, Glazer said, ?the plays are about losing something that still lives in us, that doesn’t go away, and how we try to come to terms with that.?
Unlike more traditional works, Silence relegates a sense of plot to the periphery, an ...
