Siul Hughes Presents A Day In The Life

Siul Hughes stands in the woods in East Rock Park. The green around him is as lush as can be. He’s a shadow by contrast, his sunglasses and teeth flashing from beneath a baseball cap. “What’s a man supposed to say when man can’t escape the manmade emotion, hate?” he raps. “I’m saying I’m a young man, I don’t want to grow too up. I’m a grown man, I don’t want to grow.” The scene cuts, and there’s a title on the screen: “Take your chances,” it reads, “or watch someone take them from you.”

Start with that set. It looks Scandinavian, maybe, with all those wooden planks for walls and floor, sort of an overgrown sauna. And there are plants hanging from above and a thin, curving tree downstage. We will hear birds and bugs and a cuckoo clock. And then there’s that single big armchair, on its side. We’re not sure if we’re inside the house or looking at a porch on the front of it. There’s a sliding door at the back that resembles a barn door.

“An Iliad” Brings The War Home

Christopher.
According to tradition the Iliad — the first epic poem attributed to Homer — was the source of Greek drama, which is the source of all European theater and everything that derives from it. At Long Wharf Theatre through April 14, An Iliad, directed by Whitney White and adapted by Lisa Peterson and Denis O’Hare from Robert Fagles’ translation of the poem, puts that idea into action on stage.
We watch a poem for one voice become a play with two actors — which was, according to Aristotle, the great innovation of Athenian drama, c. 460 BC, or about two centuries after Homer’s oral poem was first transcribed. It’s a rousing revisiting of theater in the making.

When you hear the term “Southern Gothic,” what do you think of? Racism, incest, misogyny, patriarchy, madness, suicide, a crumbling old house in which, at some level of symbolism, the white supremacist evils of the Confederacy eat away at the foundations of civilized society? Boo Killebrew’s Miller, Mississippi has it all, served up with a persistent backdrop of newscasts — from 1960 to 1994 — to help us keep track.

150 Sargent: No smart phone? No worries.
Don’t have a smart phone, but need access to primary care? Uber will still pick you up.
Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH) offered that peek at how transportation will work in its plan to close down three existing primary care services and relocate them to a consolidated facility on Long Wharf.

Terminal 110 on Sargent Drive was already crowded Wednesday evening, the tables near the stage accounted for and the bar area bustling, when Anthony Williams stepped to the microphone.
“Time to network, maybe meet somebody,” he said. “Maybe you meet someone who’s struggling, tell them they’re going to make it. You never know.” He continued: “You had a bite to eat. You had something to drink. Now it’s time to feel the vibe.”

Stephen Tyrone Williams.
A man in a blue suit stands alone on a stage in a small club and begins to play the trumpet. His talent isn’t in question. He has a gift for the instrument. But the sound he makes speaks of frustration too, of running up against limitations, about wrestling with inner turmoil. There is a sense of the player reaching for something and not getting there, and knowing he’s not getting there. What is he going to do about it?
