L.A. THEATRE WORKS CELEBRATES WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

“Thrilling, suspenseful, and engaging” —Goodreads Customer Review

LATW CELEBRATES WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH: Rosalind Franklin was a gifted research scientist who was part of the race to uncover the secrets of DNA in the 1950’s. Her more famous contemporaries Watson and Crick took all the kudos for the discovery of the molecule’s double helix structure—yet it was Franklin’s skill with X-ray diffraction that first uncovered what’s called “the secret of life.” Starring Miriam Margoyles (Harry Potter series). 

This play is part of L.A. Theatre Works’ Relativity Series featuring science-themed plays. Lead funding for the Relativity Series is provided by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, bridging science and the arts in the modern world.

The Devil's Disciple

Starring: Jennifer Albright, Pat Carroll, Stanton Davis, Bruce Davison, Robert Dix, Richard Dreyfuss, David Bryan Jackson, Lisa Pelikan, Derek Smith, Jon Tindle
Directed by: Nicholas Rudall

"Brimming with Shaw's lyrical and insightful dialogue… Classic theater at its best" —AudioFile Magazine

Never has the Revolutionary War been so entertaining. Shaw stands “do or die” melodrama on its head, with a cast of unforgettable characters, from the deliciously urbane “Gentleman John” Burgoyne (Richard Dreyfuss, Mr. Holland’s Opus), to the misguided romanticism of beautiful young Judith Anderson (Lisa Pelikan, Julia), to the 'Devil’s Disciple' himself, a dashing young American hero who disdains heroism, even as he makes the ultimate sacrifice for honor and country. A co-production with The Smithsonian Associates and Voice of America.

Cyrano-De-Bergerac--Key-Art-R1V1_325x325.jpg

Cyrano de Bergerac

Written By: Edmond Rostand

Starring: Caroline Aaron, Hugo Armstrong, Kalen Harriman, Gregory Itzin, Hamish Linklater, Anna Mathias, Morgan Ritchie, Jason Ritter, André Sogliuzzo, Devon Sorvari, Matthew Wolf 
Adapted for Radio and Directed by: Barry Creyton

"A briskly energetic performance" —AudioFile Magazine

One of the most enduring love stories of all time. Cyrano de Bergerac is the Platonic ideal of the fearless warrior who is paralyzed by romantic yearning. Confident in battle, but relentlessly self-doubting in love, Cyrano (Hamish Linklater, The New Adventures of Old Christine)  is unable to express his devotion to the beautiful Roxane (Devon Sorvari, The Mentalist). And when she falls in love with a handsome young cadet named Christian (Jason Ritter, Parenthood), Cyrano seizes the opportunity to use Christian as a proxy for his own unrequited feelings.

A Doll House

Written By: Henrik Ibsen
Translated by: Rolf Fjelde
Starring: Calista Flockhart, Tony Abatemarco, Tim DeKay, Jeannie Elias, Gregory Itzin, JoBeth Williams
Directed by: Rosalind Ayres

"Completely riveting… exceptional audio drama" —AudioFile Magazine

Nora Helmer (Calista Flockhart, Ally McBeal) has everything a young housewife could want: beautiful children, an adoring husband, and a bright future. But when a carelessly buried secret rises from the past, Nora’s well-calibrated domestic ideal starts to crumble. Ibsen’s play is as fresh today as it was when it first stormed the stages of 19th-century Europe.
