LUDWIG: It's fit for Louis and his queen . . . PFEIFFER: It's fit for Siegfried and Brunhilde . . . LUDWIG: It's fit for Venus and Apollo . . . NATALIE: Donald Trump, eat shit and die! - from Act II of Valhalla
You've found the dramaturgy blog for the Zeitgeist Stage Company production of Valhalla by Paul Rudnick, directed by David J. Miller and Rick Park. I'm Thomas Garvey, sometime local critic and former director, and I'm thrilled to be taking on the role of dramaturg for the production. Over the next few weeks, I will be posting about the play, its historical context and characters, our current production, the rehearsal process - and well, whatever else seems pertinent to enriching and enhancing the experience of Valhalla. For more information on the production - performance dates, ticket information, etc. - check out http://www.zeitgeiststage.com. Previews begin April 13 at the BCA Plaza Black Box. See you there!
