The Chocolate Factory, one of our wonderful neighborhood theatre spaces, is home to a new performance. As written up in The New Yorker:
KATIE WORKUM
“Fruitlands” takes its title from the failed commune established by the American transcendentalist Bronson Alcott, and much of its tone from his daughter Louisa May, who suffered there for his ideals. Four women in long, dark dresses run heedlessly in a small space. They clump together and rub against one another as if to shed something unwanted. They gaze outward and their smiles curdle. Some of the symbolism is heavy-handed, but the rhythm worked up by overlapping solos is thrilling and rare. (The Chocolate Factory, 5-49 49th Ave., Long Island City. 212-352-3101. April 18-21 at 8.)
