dcmetro1) ReDiscovery Reading:
Madness in Valencia
10/18/2010 7:30 PM
Madness in Valencia
By Lope de Vega
Translated and adapted by David Johnston
Directed by Jenny Lord
October 18th at 7:30 pm
Lansburgh Theatre
450 7th Street NW
Floriano and Erifila meet and fall in love while hiding from the outside world in a madhouse. But in this volatile setting, how can they tell the difference between love and madness? From the playwright and adapter behind STC's 2009 smash hit The Dog in the Manger comes another great comedy of Spain's Golden Age.
Works for the ReDiscovery series are chosen by Artistic Director Michael Kahn. Guest artists join members of the Washington theatrical community to investigate these great but lesser-known plays of world literature.
Seating is on a first-come basis. Reservations are required.
Tickets must be picked up from the Shakespeare Theatre Company’s Lansburgh Theatre Box Office on the day of the performance by 7:15 p.m.
2) Radiolab Live
Presented by NPR and WNYC
Nov 13 2010
Sidney Harman Hall
Join us and you'll be transported to a laboratory of the imagination - where a potent mix of stories, ideas and questions - transform the ordinary into the extraordinary
On this night, Radiolab hosts Jad Abumarad and Robert Kruclwich explore the notion of symmetry. Philosophers in Ancient Greece and modern day particle physicists alike - have pondered the notion of symmetry - wondering whether we live in a world that's fundamentally symmetric... or deeply asymmetric?
In this LIVE edition of Radiolab... we'll reflect on how symmetry tugs on our hearts and guides our lives -- from sub-atomic molecular behaviors, to how your hair part might affect your likeability.
This is an evening not to be missed. A night of fascinating voices, engaging images and live musical performances.
Radiolab is one part vaudeville and one part scientific inquiry. Bring your curiosity... and we'll feed it with possibility.
Tickets: $40 - $50
Radiolab is a production of WNYC.
