Editor's Note:
Miss Le Gallienne Announces The New Season A young Eva Le Gallienne, 33, is holding a press conference at the Civic Repertory Theater in New York to announce the opening plays for the 1932-33 season. After five wildly successful years, she had closed the theater in 1931 to take a yearlong sabbatical, and this press conference is announcing her return. However, Eva’s “year off “ has been filled with trauma—a gruesome, near-fatal gas explosion in her home, and an international scandal surrounding her girlfriend’s divorce. Eva announces at the outset “no pictures please,” and is managing to deflect questions about the fire, when suddenly a photographer sets off a flashbulb. This small explosion triggers a post-traumatic panic response in Eva, and she loses her composure. From this point on, her public persona begins to unravel as the need to be present for her experience wrestles with her desire to present a professional persona.Sock Puppets On A Scrap Heap Sock Puppets on a Scrap Heap is a meta puppet play, where two puppets, Lorna and Judy, become gradually aware of the external forces that are controlling and manipulating them. Lorna is the first to begin to sense the presence of the Puppeteers. She has begun to hear the voices of the Puppeteers at night. When she expresses her fears to her friend Judy, Judy becomes alarmed that Lorna might be experiencing symptoms of mental illness. She talks Lorna into visiting a doctor. At the visit to the doctor’s office, the Doctor is actually a Puppeteer for Lorna. Lorna, lying on a couch and facing away from the Doctor, is not aware of this. When Lorna displays increasing resistance to a regime involving a range of pills, the Doctor orders her turn around. Lorna, confronted with the sight of the Doctor’s hand literally inside her, begins to scream. The next time Judy and Lorna meet for coffee, Lorna is heavily drugged and Judy begins to question her diagnosis. Judy experiments with staying awake in her box at night, and this results in her Puppeteer removing her and her box. Lorna goes to meet Judy for coffee again, but this time there is a new puppet who insists that she is Judy. Loyalty to her friend causes Lorna to break out of her drug-induced apathy. She bites her Puppeteer. The final scene takes place on the scrap heap, where both Lorna and Judy face the fears and the hopes of life beyond the Puppeteers.The Poorly-Written Play Festival Five members of a play selection committee have gathered in the Green Room to choose the plays for their Festival of Poorly-Written Plays. The artistic director begins with a review of the more common criteria for a bad play: blatant exposition and contrived names for the characters. He then suggests that they all go around the table and introduce themselves and say a little something about themselves—blatant exposition if ever there was. As he calls on Hedda, the literary manager, and Mrs. Bracknell, the benefactress, it becomes obvious that the folks around the table all have contrived names. And so it goes—the committee enacts every broken rule of playwriting in the course of their wrangling over their selections of bad plays. These broken rules include the use of asides, characters who unaccountably reverse their positions, overly-complicated relationship histories, unrealistic set requirements, mysterious strangers, phony disguises, implausible explanations, significant action that takes place offstage, reference to scenes that have been cut from the script, and the setting up of the expectations of the audience only to disappoint them. This is a hilarious “actors nightmare” for playwrights, guaranteed to delight audiences, whose attempts to follow the action are constantly frustrated by the dramaturgical liberties of this “poorly-written” play. The incoherencies and inconsistencies build to a frantic climax, as the artistic director, faced with a plethora of plot difficulties, resorts to the cheesiest playwriting device of all.Female Nude Seated The play opens at midnight in a bedroom in a student rooming house, London, 1917. Mainie Jellet, 21, is having a nightmare. She wakes up screaming, turns the light on, and uncovers her easel to check the painting she has been working on. Still upset, she makes an attempt to drink a jar of paint thinner. Interrupted by fellow student Evie Hone, she spills the turpentine. The two women, both Dubliners, do not know each other. Evie helps clean up the turpentine and brings a bottle of brandy. As the two women get to know each other, Mainie tells a horrific story of sexual harassment by one of her professors, who today is rumored to have been Jack the Ripper. Mainie is in the middle of a serious identity crisis. Her year in London has opened her eyes to the truth about the “Great War,” and also about the Easter Rising. Raised in a Protestant, Unionist household, she learned to view Catholics as heathens, Iris...
