19.30 hrs
(PLEASE NOTE NEW START TIME)
GLAS is proud to present "A Woman Alone" on
which Dario Fo collaborated with his wife, Franca
Rame and features the celebrated New York actress
Lee DeLong. The role won Lee the best
actress award at the last Sarajevo International Theatre
Festival where the audience also voted it the
best production. The original production was produced by Bob Meyer of Gare St.
Lazare Players. John Malkovich, actor, director and
producer, said of the production: "Dario Fo and Franca Rame
have never been better served than by Meyer (director), and
Lee is a star."
"Our
woman alone is a simple, naïve character. She dresses
herself in revealing clothes like those worn by the women
she admires on television. She tells the story of her life
to a new tenant who just moved into the building across the
street from her. She’s thrilled that she’s finally found
someone to talk to, to confide in—even if the person is
across the street... She tells her life story in a comic,
grotesque way. We laugh, we laugh a lot at this piece, but
in the end, we have a bitter taste in our mouths.
The piece is comic, grotesque, on purpose. First of all,
because we women have been crying for two thousand years.
So let’s laugh now, even at ourselves". - Franca
Rame
PRAISE

DeLong moves, blows away, and gives her character a radiant

sympathy...."

recital is enthralling..."
