1998 Georges Sand: An Erotic Odyssey in Seven Tableaux

Four LA Weekly Award Nominations -- BEST ENSEMBLE! BEST LEADING FEMALE! BEST LIGHTING! BEST DIRECTION! ; LA Weekly -- PICK OF THE WEEK! ; Back Stage West -- CRITIC'S PICK!

French Novelist Amandine Aurore Lucie Dupin, a.k.a. George Sand, was at the center of the 1848 European revolutionary movement that gave rise to communism; she was a femme fatale “who changed lovers more often than her shoes” and whose beaux included Karl Marx, Chopin, Schubert, Balzac and Flaubert; she dabbled in lesbianism, left her marriage to a country baron and supported herself through her writings, employing a male pseudonym.

1998 Noises

Critic's Pick! -- Backstage West

90-odd minutes of watching petty, nasty people with too much money on their hands (and snorting the coke to prove it) getting progressively more drunk and more spiteful. Not exactly my cup of tea, and yet, under Frederique Michel’s beautifully paced direction, it works, and it works well.
