THE SHAPE OF THINGS

April 14-30
The Hoffner Lodge [Northside]
Directed by Elizabeth Harris
Cast: Carter Bratton, Matthew Krieg, Leah Strasser & Rebecca Whatley.
How far would you go for love? Or for art? What concessions would you make? What price would you be willing to pay? Such are the painful questions explored by Neil LaBute in The Shape of Things, a modern day retelling of the fall of man. After a chance meeting in a museum, Evelyn, a sexy, aggressive artist, and Adam, a shy, insecure student, become embroiled in an intense affair. Before long, it veers into the kind of dangerous, seductive territory that LaBute does best, as Adam, under Evelyn’s steady influence, goes to unimaginable lengths to improve his appearance and character. Only in the final and shocking exhibition, which challenges our most deeply entrenched ideas about art and love, does Evelyn reveal her true intentions.

SILENT SKY
Know Theatre of Cincinnati
April 15-May 14
Over-the-Rhine
Directed by Tamara Winters
Cast: Annie Fitzpatrick as Annie Jump Cannon, Justin McCombs as Peter Shaw, Miranda McGee as Margaret Leavitt, Regina Pugh as Williamina Fleming & Maggie Lou Rader as Henrietta Leavitt
The true story of 19th century astronomer Henrietta Leavitt plays out against a landscape of fierce sisterly love, early feminism, universe-revealing science, and a time when humans were called “computers.” This beautiful play from Lauren Gunderson (author of Know’s Toil and Trouble and Cincinnati Playhouse’s The Revolutionists) reveals how a group of extraordinary women found a way to measure the universe, providing a glimpse of the light within us all.
