Dramaturgy

love it...or hate it...

Terry McCabe on "The Production Dramaturg"My argument is not really an attack on dramaturgs. There are many excellent dramaturgs, just as there are many excellent designated hitters in the American League. But the designated hitter rule, because it creates an unnecessary team member, is a disservice to baseball, and the emergence of the dramaturg as a distinct position is likewise a disservice to the theater. Independent of the performance of individual dramaturgs, it has this harmful effect: it puts distance between the director and the play.

Robert Wilson

Einstein on the Beach is an opera that premiered on July 25, 1976 at the Avignon Festival in France, scored and written by Philip Glass and designed and directed by theatrical producer Robert Wilson. It also contains writings by Christopher Knowles, Samuel M. Johnson and Lucinda Childs. Einstein on the Beach is described by Glass as an "Opera in four acts for ensemble, chorus and soloists". This is Glass's first and longest opera score, taking approximately five hours (a little under three and a half hours on CD) to complete, with no intermission. Given the length of the opera the audience is free to enter and leave as they desire.
