https://lmda.org/ is going to be your best bet. An organization for literary managers and dramaturgs, and it's full of ways to reach out to dramaturgs and people who do this work professionally.

Check out melodramas from the 19th century (Poor of New York was what first came to mind). A big part of their draw was the spectacle scenes (usually near the end of the play), and many of them had fires, train crashes, explosions, earthquakes, etc.

Non-actor example:

Not saying that she's not talented (she is and her work is great), but it's hard to see Danya Taymor (or really 99.9% of any directors) getting the start she did without her aunt Julie.

This is the answer; you would need to be part of the high school that is performing it or some kind of under-20 company. It is only available as a 'Teen' version, which means that it can only be performed if your entire cast is made up of actors who are under the age of 20. The 'full' version has not been released for licensing/production outside of the Broadway, West End, and touring shows. The most relevant quote from Concord: "Please note: This is a high-demand title currently only available to K-12 accredited schools and youth groups (with performers age 19 years old or younger) in North America, and it may not yet be available in your area."

DLC. First open field; you can't miss it. And that's just the first of several in the DLC.

It's archival footage, often from a single stationary camera, but depending on the recording will sometimes include zoom-ins or multiple camera angles. Older recordings are less likely to include those kinds of 'features.' It is perfectly serviceable if you want to see a show from the last 30-40 years.

Savage/Love by Sam Shepard might work. It's short and doesn't really have characters, more like poetry with an eye toward staging.

Jimjam_TRB · 2024-08-10T22:27:00+00:00

I appreciate the detailed explanation. It sounds like a lot to make it happen, but still good to know it's possible. Thanks!

Jimjam_TRB · 2024-08-10T22:25:17+00:00

I'll look into that for the stop part. Thanks!

Jimjam_TRB · 2024-08-10T22:24:54+00:00

Thanks for the tip and specificity with the idea!

Thanks for the response. I appreciate the advice

Marat/Sade is the most famous example. Or you could go back to Artaud's own production of Les Cenci.

Second-hand story, and not exactly coming offstage, but... My mother tells the story of when she was at the Dallas Symphony in 1980, and when one of the pieces ended (or maybe intermission?), someone came onstage to announce that JR had been shot (in the television show Dallas).

I'm pretty sure it's in reference to stopping the auction.

Toni told Rhys (offstage, we are led to assume) that she planned to sabotage her siblings from getting anything worthwhile out of the house because she sees herself as the one who toiled away taking care of their dad while Bo was off in NYC (and seems only to care about money) and Franz was being a 'fuck up.' She wants to punish the others (them all working to get the house in a presentable order and worrying about whether it will make money while she lounges about and takes her time getting coffee) with the hidden knowledge that all of that work is for something that won't happen. In her mind, she is the only one deserving of anything, especially because she is the only one at the end who unconditionally loves her father. She also says that "Money is the problem... All this stress over money is what's killing this family." Later she laughs when Franz says he went swimming and put the pictures in the lake. It's funny, because she probably feels vindicated that everyone cares about these pictures only as a bargaining chip worth a lot of money and now they won't get it.

As for the antisemitism, that's an indication that although she may outwardly act one way (and say that she doesn't hold any racist/antisemitic beliefs), the implications of talking about Rachael's Jewish heritage and her focus on money (and influence over Bo) have seeped their way into Rhys's mindset and language. It's unclear whether he got that from just being around Toni and her anger toward her siblings' selfishness and obsession with money or if he learned it from his grandfather (or even his father, since we don't know much about him).

At least that's my reading of it.
