Synetic Theater Announces Its 2013-2014 Season
The Picture of Dorian Gray
Directed by Paata Tsikurishvili
Sept. 26, 2013 – Nov. 3, 2013
Fearing the ravages of time and realizing the impermanence of youth, Dorian Gray makes a fateful wish–that his almost supernaturally lifelike portrait grow old while he remains forever young and beautiful. Synetic inventiveness and unforgettable visuals will elevate Oscar Wilde’s fantastical story to yet another level.
Twelfth Night
Directed by Paata Tsikurishvili
Jan. 9, 2014 – Feb 16, 2014
This 10th installment in our Silent Shakespeare Series tells the tale of fraternal twins, Viola and Sebastian, separated in a strange new land. Having survived a shipwreck and believing her brother Sebastian has been lost, Viola falls hopelessly in love with Duke Orsino and disguises herself as a man to enter his services. Synetic take on the Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night is a confluence of comedy and tragedy; a social commentary that brings laughter to sobering truths.
Hamlet … the rest is silence
Directed by Paata Tsikurishvili
March 13, 2014 – April 6, 2014
After our 10th Shakespearean adaptation, we will revisit our first – the multiple Helen Hayes Award winner that started it all for Synetic. A silent rendering of the iconic tale of a grief-stricken prince torn between duty, love, conscience and fear, this revitalized production will employ all the skills and techniques we have honed and developed over the past 10 years, and promises to be a renewed pleasure for those familiar with Synetic work as well as a perfect introduction for newcomers.
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog),
Directed by Derek Goldman
May 8, 2014 – June 8, 2014
Still fresh and witty after more than a century, Jerome K. Jerome’s delightful travelogue tells the story of three young men suffering from a severe case of “overwork.” Accompanied by their dutiful terrier Montmorency, they take a boating holiday through the country, getting into one satirically hilarious predicament after another along the way. Adapted from a novel consistently ranked as one of the funniest of all time, this production will be directed by a renowned area director Derek Goldman
