THEATRICAL RESURRECTION
Denver Victorian Playhouse
The story of this theater, like much of Denver's
history, was shaped by tuberculosis. At the turn of the
previous century, George Swartz, a tuberculosis patient
and Shakespeare aficionado, moved to the area for its dry,
sunny climate and bought a house. He built a theater into
his basement and presented all of Shakespeare's plays there.
During its existence, the theater has gone through periods
of use and periods of darkness. Paul Willet ran it from
1964 to shortly before his death in 1984, using the quaintly
old-fashioned setting to present uncompromising plays. Wade
and Lorraine Wood purchased the Victorian this year and
are presenting an interesting and eclectic roster of plays.
True to the gracious spirit of the place -- and the ghost
of Paul Willet -- they serve tea, coffee and cookies during
intermissions.
BEST PRODUCTION
BASED ON PRINCIPLE
Dead Man Walking Denver Victorian
Playhouse
The men on America's death rows,
their lingering, useless days, the terror of the hours until
countdown: Most of us rarely think about them, but like
the mad aunt in the attic, they are always there, haunting
the fringes of consciousness. University of Denver's Sturm
College of Law, in conjunction with Alliance Stage, brought
the issue into the daylight recently, staging Tim Robbins's
Dead Man Walking, based on the book by Sister Helen
Prejean. The book and the play make the inhumanity of state-sanctioned
execution clear while taking into account the rage and grief
of victims' families. Dead Man Walking is, in part,
agitprop, but it's agitprop in the most thoughtful and honorable
tradition. The production at the Victorian was effective,
sustained in large part by the beautiful and committed work
of Terry Ann Watts as Sister Helen and Michael Richman's
understated, passionate performance as convicted killer
Matt Poncelet.
