Fiona Templeton
Louis Zukofsky's Rudens and Fiona Templeton’s Bluebeard
(excerpt)
Friday & Saturday, May 16 & 17, 8pm
Sunday, May 18, 7pm
$12 ($10 students)
Templeton directs two plays: Rudens is a very seldom performed
work, based on The Rope by the Roman comic playwright T.
Maccius Plautus. It combines a number of strategies of textual conversion,
and is translated to English phonetically by using the sound of the
original language. Bluebeard is about two people imagining
how each other think, what each other fears or desires, and what each
fears or desires of the other. It is a ventriloquial work, in which
the onstage action or even speaker may belie the subject of the speech.
Collaborators: Joel
Craig lives in Chicago, working as an art director and deejay.
His poems have appeared in several publications, and he is co-founder
and curator for The Danny's Reading Series. Laura
Goldstein is a writer and multi-media and sound artist who
currently teaches at Loyola University and performs and collaborates
in Chicago. Her work is widely published and her chapbook is due
out this spring. Pam
Osbey is the author of ten poetry books. She is a poet educator
in the Chicago Public School System, and works with several literary
organizations in Chicago, including the Poetry Center of Chicago
