Director Bill Rauch talks about MEDEA/MACBETH/CINDERELLA

The fourth show to enter the repertory in the Angus Bowmer Theatre will be a new version of MEDEA/MACBETH/CINDERELLA, co-adapted and co-directed by RAUCH and TRACY YOUNG. First created by Rauch as a college student, then mounted professionally in 1998 by Cornerstone Theater Company and The Actors' Gang and remounted in 2002 at Yale Repertory Theatre, M/M/C represents the weaving together of three title-character studies in royal ambition. Referred to as a "long bridge through Western culture," Euripides', Shakespeare's, and Rodgers and Hammerstein's classics of populist theater are performed on one stage simultaneously, three-ring circus-style. In Rauch's self-described "lifelong passion project," full productions of all three plays are intercut and played together, creating surprising moments of synchronicity and revelation.
