NYC. More Poets Theater with Vincent Katz's "Hippolyta" @ the renowned Mabou Mines with Re/Venue. Directed by Tony Torn. More info forthcoming.
Mabou Mines is a pioneering experimental theater collective that reshapes classic works and creates innovative new performances through interdisciplinary collaboration and theatrical experimentation. The company was founded in 1970 by JoAnne Akalaitis, Lee Breuer, Ruth Maleczech, David Warrilow, and Philip Glass. Legends of the field. Amazing night w Elaine May and Julian Schlossberg talking “Mikey and Nicky” - arguably one of the greatest crime drama films ever made, based on her childhood.
This is the 50th Anniversary of the release of “Mikey and Nicky.” Julian famously acquired the rights to the film after its initial distribution and he re-released it in the mid 1980s, helping secure the film’s reputation as a modern canonical masterpiece. Check out the Elaine May retrospective this week @filmlinc! July 26-July 2. Mikey and Nicky, A New Leaf, Ishtar! Thanks to Julian Schlossberg for treating me. #mobfamily #elainemay #1970scinema #masterpiecetheater |
