Shakespeare meddles in the brothers’ business, as does busybody Brother Jeremiah (Andrew Haber) and they find themselves in an unfortunate predicament. The brothers struggle with “Omelet, the Musical” instead, much to the chagrin of younger brother and poet Nigel Bottom (Oliver Kuehn).

Nostradamus predicts “Hamlet” plus the unheard-of concept of “the musical” (but gets some facts wrong). In desperation, older brother Nick Bottom (Rob O’Grady) hires soothsayer Nostradamus (Fred Carpenter) to predict the next big thing in theater. They suffer in the shadow of their nemesis, Renaissance rock star William Shakespeare. What it’s about: It’s the Renaissance and two brothers, one a poet and one a playwright/director, get dropped by their patron, who is unimpressed with their latest play. Written by: Book by Karey Kirkpatrick and John O’Farrell music and lyrics written by and show conceived by Karey Kirkpatrick and Wayne Kirkpatrick presented by The Academy of Performing Arts

One more thing: David Orlando’s lighting design, and the sound design by Grace Oberhofer (who says in her program bio that she “likes to tell stories about women - either real or imagined - who are not perfect but rather, amazing”) add crucial and often clever atmosphere and drama that take the overall production to a higher level. Nussle, making her WHAT debut, is founding artistic director of Campfire Quorum, a new nonprofit theater company currently “camped out” (and usually creating outdoor productions) on the Outer Cape. O’Connor’s Marie Antoinette is hilarious in her early self-absorption, but also endearing when she adds important warmth and compassion to the humor as she realizes the potential of these women.įun facts: Gunderson, who lists herself on her website as playwright/screenwriter/feminist, was named the most produced playwright in America by American Theatre Magazine in both 20/2020. Bellamore creates Marianne as the quartet’s steady and determined heart, focusing the women on doing what’s right even as she suffers personally and pushes that people remember the freedom and equality being fought for in France should also extend to their Black slaves.

Hakim’s Charlotte is full of fiery good intentions, courageous yet reckless in her need to sacrifice herself because Marat must be stopped. Leidel’s appealing Olympe struggles between her desire for audience approval of her rare artistic success as a woman, her desire to use her words to save her beloved France, and her paralyzing fear for her own safety. While the script becomes somewhat overlong and repetitive in Act 2 – focusing too much on how theater and artistic activism can change thinking when the point has been made – the characters and the believable connection created between them and with the audience keep you riveted. And as much as you’ll laugh, there is also raw emotion here. Highlights of the show: The cast and Nussle have succeeded in making every single performance a tour de force, and the actresses make you care very much about this convincing, often passionate and powerful quartet.

“Don’t settle for the stories they’re giving you” is one of dozens of key lines that could help some people reconsider what they think they know. This centuries-old “history” play first produced in 2015 is unfortunately up to the minute as it references fighting for women’s agency over their own bodies, and offers an important reminder to notice who has been telling the history you hear – and how often it has not been women. The WHAT production is as absorbing as it is supremely entertaining, with a quartet of standout performances under Nussle’s stellar direction.

See it or not: Gunderson’s fast-moving and fast-talking play is a torrent of ideas potently mixed with laughs.
