Friday, September 24, 2010 - “Women and Scarecrow”

Fri, 24 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0700

Regional Premiere — presented by Denver Victorian Playhouse

by Marina Carr

Directed by Erica Borrillo

 “The world's job is to take everything from you. Yours is not to let it.' — Scarecrow.                  

Woman, mother of eight and wife to a faithless husband, lies in pain on snowy pillows. Around her stalks Scarecrow, a sharp—tongued female.  Ominous sounds emanate from the wardrobe. There’s something nameless and nasty in there, and soon Woman must surrender to it. Marina Carr’s play is partly a black comedy charting a passionate life stifled in a provincial Ireland.

The cast includes Tom Borrillo as Him, Rita Broderick as Woman, Paige L. Larson as Scarecrow and Lori Hanson as Auntie Ah.

Marina Carr is one of Ireland ’s most celebrated modern playwrights. She hit international fame with her darkly written plays “Portia Coughlin” and “By the Bog of Cats,” which premiered in London with Holly Hunter in the lead role. Along with the first national tour of her play “Woman and Scarecrow,” Like the works of several other contemporary Irish playwrights, Carr's plays frequently include instances of black humor and severe physical brutality. She is distinguished, however, most notably by the fact that several of her plays are filled with classical Greek allusion or are loose retellings of classical Greek myths. She recently premiered two new plays, “Marble” at the Abbey Theatre and ‘The Giant Blue Hand” in the Ark Cultural Centre for Children in Dublin . She currently lives in Kerry and is a member of Aosdána.
