New York – Starting next month, Off Broadway’s Signature Theatre Company will mark the 80th birthday of preeminent South African dramatist Athol Fugard with a mini-season of his work. This first Broadway staging of The Road to Mecca is a prelude to that celebration. Watching beloved theater veteran Rosemary Harris in a major role is a reward in itself. But a compelling case is made for this wordy 1984 drama about individual and artistic freedom only deep into its second act. Directed with trudging reverence by Gordon Edelstein for Roundabout Theatre Company, the production unfolds on a detailed set

When, on Dec. 30, David Sheward filed his critique of the New York Gilbert & Sullivan Players' production of "The Mikado," the reviewing year ended for Back Stage. During 2010, Sheward and co–head critic Erik Haagensen reported on more than 250 theater and cabaret shows and, thanks to their responsibilities as members of the New York Drama Critics' Circle and the Drama Desk, saw many other offerings they didn't review. Rather than present yet another top 10 list of the "best" shows of the year, Sheward and Haagensen decided that a publication serving actors should salute actors.What follows is each man's selection of 10 memorable performances—by five women and five men—seen in 2010. Not the "best," not the "most," not ranked in any order, simply 10 performances that were so outstanding they wanted to salute them. Ten is an arbitrary limit. Without question, there were other performances that were as memorable as these.

What becomes a legend most? Amanda Wingfield is of course the iconic mother in "The Glass Menagerie," Tennessee Williams' autobiographical play about his family life. Judith Ivey is the deeply respected actor who won Tonys for "Hurlyburly" and "Steaming," starred on Broadway in the revival "Follies," and originated roles in "Park Your Car in Harvard Yard" and "Precious Sons," not to mention her vast screen credits. But as Ivey tells it, Amanda may be the role of her lifetime.This week the version directed by Gordon Edelstein and starring Ivey begins its run at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles, following the Long Wharf's premiere presentation last year and its move this spring to the Roundabout Theatre Company in New York. It also stars Patch Darragh as Amanda's son, Tom.When Back Stage spoke with Ivey, the production was in previews at the Taper, having completed about 200 performances on the East Coast.

If I had known nothing about The Glass Menagerie -- Tennessee Williams's great New York Drama Critics Circle prize-winning 1945 work -- before being exposed to Gordon Edelstein's current Roundabout Theatre production, I'm shocked to report I would have decided before the first act ended that what I was witnessing was an exercise in tediously self-indulgent nostalgia. Indeed, if I were coming to The Glass Menagerie cold -- if I were unaware of its having put the dramatist on the literary map as World War II was drawing to a close, if I were totally uniformed about Laurette Taylor's indelible (though sadly never filmed) performance as the addled and tyrannical Amanda Wingfield -- I'd have concluded that the presentation of a flibbertigibbet mother relentlessly berating her physically impaired daughter and incipiently alcoholic son wasn't the stuff of unforgettable...

Long Wharf Theatre Artistic Director Gordon Edelstein will be lecturing about Athol Fugard, described by the New York Times as "the greatest playwright writing in English since Shakespeare," Sunday, November 15 from 5 to 6 p.m. at the Willoughby Wallace Memorial Library, 146 Thimble Island Road, Stony Creek.
Edelstein is directing the world premiere of Fugard's Have You Seen Us?, running from Nov. 24 through Dec. 20 at Long Wharf Theatre, the site of many of Fugard's world premieres in the 1970s.
Fugard, born in 1932 in Middelburg, in the Karoo desert region of South Africa, battled to bring the stories of all South Africans to the world, even under the darkest years of apartheid, that abusive system that had one set of laws for whites, and another for people of color. For his service, he was awarded South Africa's highest award, the Ikhamanga Medal in 2005. His best-known plays include Bloodknot (1961); Boesman and Lena (1969); Sizwe Bansi...

Long Wharf Theatre presents the world premiere of Have You Seen Us?, by Athol Fugard, directed by Gordon Edelstein, from Nov. 24-Dec. 20, 2009 on the Mainstage. Henry Parsons comes in to a mall diner for his usual-a turkey sandwich-and insulting banter with Adela, the Mexican-American waitress.
