Some Kind of Love Story
by Arthur Miller Director Lad Brown Scenic Design Dan Nemteanu Lighting Design Bryon Winn Costume Design David M. Maslow Sound Design Mark Bruckner Cast Angela Brazil, Michael Grecco Produced by Iowa Summer Rep Film noire and the covers of pulp detective novels inspired the look of this exploration of a world-weary detective and the many layered (schizophrenic?) woman who slowly reveals what she knows. Elegy for a Lady by Arthur Miller Director Lad Brown Scenic Design Dan Nemteanu Lighting Design Bryon Winn Costume Design David M. Maslow Sound Design Mark Bruckner Cast Dana Green, John Edward Lynch Produced by Iowa Summer Rep A lost man seeks solace at a boutique where he has come to find a gift for his dying (or dead, the text is ambiguous) lover. The director felt that the conversation was only happening in his head and that the woman, rather than a salesclerk, should instead be a stunning mannequin come to life. I borrowed her look from the king of mid-century feminine elegance, Hubert de Givenchy. |
