Commonwealth Shakespeare Company at Babson announces 2017-2018 performances

August 25, 2017 by Deborah Brown Leave a Comment

Founding Artistic Director Steven Maler of Commonwealth Shakespeare Company, in residence at Babson College, has put up the 2017-18 Season, to be presented at the Sorenson Center for the Arts and on the Boston Commons:

Fear and Misery in the Third Reich: A Staged Reading

by Bertolt Brecht, translated by Eric Bentley, directed by Steven Maler;
featuring Tony Shalhoub and Brooke Adams
Monday, November 13, 7:00 P.M.
Carling-Sorenson Theater, Babson College
Tickets: $20-40

Brecht’s series of 18 interconnected playlets describe what life was like in German households in the 1930s as the Nazis came to power. Written while Brecht was in exile in Denmark and first performed in Paris in 1938, these poignant stories dramatize the suspicion and anxiety experienced by ordinary people, particularly Jewish citizens, as the power of Hitler grew.
Tickets: $20-$40
TICKETS NOW ON SALE

Meet the Cast and Support CSC — A limited number of tickets are available for a post-show reception with the cast. Tickets are $125 each and include priority seating for the performance. All proceeds to benefit CSC’s education and outreach programs.

Death and the Maiden

A play by Ariel Dorfman, directed by Steven Maler
January 30–February 11
Sorenson Black Box, Babson College

After the fall of the totalitarian regime in a South American country, a former political prisoner finds herself face to face with the man she believes was her captor, a sadistic doctor who’s face she never saw. Is he guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, or is her paranoia getting the better of her?

Old Money

by Wendy Wasserstein, directed by Karen MacDonald
March 6–18, 2018
Carling-Sorenson Theater, Babson College

A dinner party in a fashionable home offers a rich and witty look at social classes and issues of wealth and privilege — from the Gilded Age of the early 20th century to the present day.

Macbeth

by William Shakespeare, directed by David Gammons
featuring the CSC2 Company of early-career actors
Carling-Sorenson Theater, Babson College
June 1, 2018

Shakespeare’s classic tragedy dramatizes the damaging effects of political ambition on those who seek power for its own sake.
