Center Theatre Group has announced the 2009-2010 Kirk Douglas season, which will kick off with Danai Gurira's Eclipsed (September 13-October 18), to be directed by Robert O'Hara. This West Coast premiere is set in 2003 during Liberia's vicious civil war, and follows a group of women who form a tightly-knit community and struggle for a degree of humanity in a hostile war zone.
Lisa Kron will debut a new, as-yet-untitled play March 21-April 18, which will be co-produced with Berkeley Repertory Theatre. Leigh Silverman will direct the work, which centers on a smart, politically engaged, freelance writer, and her political and emotional life. Malcolm McDowell will star as Kenneth Tynan in Richard Nelson and Colin Chambers' stage adaptation of The Diaries of Kenneth Tynan, entitled simply Tynan (May 6-June 6). The piece is about the British theatre critic who was both respected and feared by playwrights whose careers he could make or break.
The theater's DouglasPlus events will include a staged workshop of Next Stop Amazingland, created by Geoff Sobelle and Trey Lyford with magician Steve Cuiffo; The Lunacy Commission, an insanity-themed cabaret created by director Lars Jan; and the world premiere production of Dael Orlandersmith's Bones. Production details and additional events will be announced at a later date.
