Department of Theatre
The University of Utah
Department of Theatre presents TRISTAN AND YSEULT
in the Babcock Theatre, February 20-24
and February 28-March 2. The play is based on an ancient Celtic/French
legend of a tragic pair whose story became part of the Arthurian legend.
This non-happily-ever-after tale is not a story of epic love, but rather
of love the way we ordinary humans experience it—with all the joy and hurt
that accompany love betrayed. According to Emma Rice, who adapted and
directed the first production, “this ancient
myth spoke straight to the dark heart of my own 21st century experience.
This was not for Hollywood and happily ever after, this was for grown-ups.
For those of us who know that love is a trap as well as a liberator, that
the pain of choosing one person over another tears the soul and never
quite heals.” Tickets are $12 general admission, $9 University
faculty and staff, and $6 for students, and are available through
Kingsbury Ticket Office (581-7100) or at
www.theatre.utah.edu. A small
handling fee will be added to the price of each ticket. Show times are
7:30 pm Wednesday through Saturday, 7:00 pm Sunday, with a 2:00 pm matinee
on Saturday, March 1.
A free panel discussion,
co-sponsored by the University’s International Studies Office, will be
offered on Saturday, March 1, at 4:15 pm in the Babcock Theatre,
immediately after the matinee performance. Panelists include Maria Dobozy,
Professor of Languages and Literature at the University of Utah, Kathleen
Cahill, writer and senior editor with PBS’s “Masterpiece,” and L.L. West,
director of this production.
CONTENT ADVISORY: This
show contains mature themes and is not suitable for audiences under 14.
