In Regard of Noir
Dec. 23rd, 2006 11:02 pmI like to remember things my own way . . . not necessarily the way they happened . . .
I'd been wanting to put up occasional essays here about past shows -- looks back at some of the 50 productions I've put up, with my thoughts about them now.
However, without any kind of deadline, as well as self-consciousness about showing old medals, I haven't got round to it.
Luckily, Jon Stancato of The Stolen Chair Theatre Company, has given me a damned good reason to spout off about one of my favorite original shows, NECROPOLIS 1&2: World Gone Wrong/Worth Gun Willed.
Stolen Chair is doing a Noir for the stage opening January 5 called Kill Me Like You Mean It.
To tie in with their upcoming show, they've asked a number of other theatre people who've worked in the Noir style onstage to answer some questions about the form, their attraction to it, and what the Film Noir genre has to offer for theatre artists.
They are posting these online interviews on their blog. They're doing seven or eight of them, I think.
My look back at World Gone Wrong is #2 in the series, and can be found here. I think I finally got to say a lot of what I've wanted to say for some time about this show, which is one of the things I'm most proud of having created.
#1 in the series was Trav S.D. on Cold Fire, and coming up will be, among others, my old friend Frank Cwiklik.
Jon notes that there's been a LOT of Noir for the stage in recent years, with more coming up besides their production, and having a number of the creators of these shows talk about it on their blog is not only good publicity for their show, but a valuable way of examining this phenomenon.
It's also a nice excuse to post some of my favorite images from World Gone Wrong here. More can be found at my Flickr page. Enjoy. And please check out the interview.
