REMASTERED EDITION: Fred Locks 'Black Star Liner'

New Post has been published on https://plugzafrica.com/remastered-edition-fred-locks-black-star-liner/

REMASTERED EDITION: Fred Locks 'Black Star Liner'

Fred Locks’ 1976 LP Black Star Liner sits on any short list of classics from Reggae’s golden era of the 1970s. The LP, available again in a newly remastered edition, evokes the earnest vision of repatriation that Marcus Garvey articulated and attempted to actualise a century ago. 

Writers Steve Barrow and Peter Dalton put the release in context in Reggae: The Rough Guide: “‘Black Star Liners,’ which became an enduring roots anthem that helped define the period. Fred Locks’ voice was opposite to the deep roots rhythms that supported it as well as to the serious themes of iniquity, faith and repatriation.”

At the time of the album’s initial release, the singer simply recalled, “I wasn’t so versed in Rasta but it’s really because of sufferation over the years why you find more to write about. Even Black Star Liners was a song I started to write about two years ago (1973). It never reaches completion until the day in the studio, you know, the very last words.”

The album is the result of the collaboration between producer Hugh Boothe and his friend Fred Locks (born Stafford Elliot), both of whom were members of Jamaica’s Twelve Tribes Of Israel (Rastafarian) organization. The album followed the release of the single “Black Star Liners” in 1975 on Boothe’s Jahmikmusik label (an affiliate of Twelve Tribes’ Jahlovemuzik Soundsystem).

Despite the frustrations of getting the album off the ground and distributed in the 1970s – it first was licensed to the U.K. Vulcan label which vanished within a few years – the recognition and impact of the album have been the lasting markers of its success.

Singers including Carlene Davis and Luciano have paid tribute in the years since, and it has helped keep the vision and ideals of Garveyism close to the core canon of Reggae for five decades. It is in many senses a Roots touchstone. Thanks to Fred Locks the melodic line and phrase “Seven miles of Black Star Liners coming in the harbour” remains embedded in the lexicon of the Rasta community.

This deluxe edition, scheduled for release on the 9th of February 2024, is presented in its original stereo mix, lovingly remastered and restored, an upgrade on the pressings available in recent years. In addition, the cover art has been colour-corrected for an accurate reproduction of the original. Extensive liner notes by Noel Hawks and a rare photo by Michael Morgan on the printed inner sleeve give the release additional depth. The original purple Jahmikmusik labels found on the 45 are also used for the LP.

Starting over

The 2pm-4pm programme on BBC Radio 6 Music on 17/01/21 was hosted by Felix White instead of Gus Garvey. I’ll be referring to him as Mr White like I’m Jesse Pinkman or something. The theme of this show/playlist was starting over. I expected a show at the beginning of the year called “starting over” to be a bunch of trite ‘new year new me’ nonesense. I was very pleasantly surprised by the…

Well, last time, it was one step forward and two steps back for the Hargreeves Siblings.  Not only did they make contact with 1963 Reginald, who proved to be no help to them (no surprises there), but there were setbacks even for the individual subplots.  Ray now knows about Allison’s powers, but he’s still leery because he knows that he wouldn’t know it if Allison had used her powers on him.  Klaus was able to have a private conversation with Past Dave, only to find that his efforts of keeping him from being killed in the upcoming Vietnam War may have backfired as they resulted in Dave’s uncle forcing him to enlist ahead of schedule.  And while Vanya managed to convince Sissy to agree to run away together, Sissy’s husband, Carl, was spying on them and now knows they’re in love.  Oh, and poor Elliot was brutally tortured and killed by the Swedes, who are looking for Diego, whom they believe was directly responsible for the death of their brother.  And Number 5 made a deal with The Handler, which involved him agreeing to kill The Commission’s board of directors to ensure The Handler could take charge in exchange for the chance for him and his siblings to return to their own time, with both apocalypses being permanently removed from the timeline.  Yeah, a lot happened last episode.

Episode 7 begins with Number 5 traveling to Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1982, which is the time and location of the board of directors meeting.  The meeting is taking place at some lodge, under the guise of the Midwest Soybean Society.  After getting directions to the correct ballroom from a lady at the reception desk, Number 5 has a hilarious ordeal with a faulty vending machine.  One that I’m sure anyone who has had their desired snack fail to dispense correctly can relate to.  In frustration, Number 5 smashes the vending machine’s glass covering.  However, he then choses to simply walk away from the damage.  Not sure why he didn’t just take the fudge nutter bar he was so determined to get, but maybe he felt it best to get away from the scene of the crime.  Number 5 then proceeds to the indicated ballroom, where the board of directors meeting is already underway, with AJ, the talking goldfish we last saw in 2x02, sitting at the head of the table.  Number 5 barges into the room, wielding a fire axe and proceeds to kill everyone in the room.  Rather gruesomely, I might add.  Yes, we don’t actually see any of the killing blows, but we do see one guy lying on the ground with his intestines hanging out.  Before long, everyone in the room is dead, apart from Number 5 and AJ.  AJ seems to realize The Handler put him up to this and tries to bargain with Number 5 to no avail.  But right before Number 5 could begin to attack AJ, the lady from the lodge’s reception desk appears out of nowhere, tackling Number 5.  She’s angry about the damage to the vending machine and intends to make him pay for it.  Which is fine and good, but still slightly confusing.  I mean, she does notice the multiple dead bodies lying around the room, right?  One would think dead bodies would outweigh a broken vending machine.  Anyway, Number 5 manages to knock her out.  But AJ took advantage of the distraction to try and make his getaway.  Of course, Number 5 manages to overtake him with his teleporting ability and smashes AJ’s glass jar head, which results in AJ flopping around on the floor.

Number 5 later meets up with The Handler, presenting her with AJ, who is now confined in a plastic baggie filled with water.  The Handler is visibly pleased to see AJ in this state.  However, Number 5 doesn’t share her excitement, stating he is not okay with the murders he’d committed, and he only went through with them for his family, and to save the world.  The Handler pretty much dismisses his misgivings over the deaths he’d caused and hands him a time traveling briefcase that will bring him and the other Hargreeves Siblings back to 2019.  However, as she turns to walk off, she tells Number 5 that he only has 90 minutes to use the time traveling briefcase.  Number 5 is aghast by this, as The Handler never mentioned there’d be a time limit.  And it will be quite difficult for him to successfully round up all the Hargreeves Siblings in only an hour and a half.  The Handler is not bothered by this, telling Number 5 that he’d better hurry.

We then cut to Klaus and Ben.  Klaus, knowing that Ben is wanting to possess his body again, is doing his best to prevent that by staying awake.  Ben points out that Klaus cannot possibly stay awake forever.  Sooner or later, he’s going to drift off, whether he likes it or not.  And I couldn’t help but giggle during this scene.  Every time Klaus’ eyelids drooped, when he opened his eyes again, Ben would be a little bit closer.  Something about this made me remember the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who.  Klaus begs Ben to give him a break, as he’s still upset over not being able to do anything to prevent Dave’s death, and he hates feeling this powerless.  To this, Ben retorts that he deals with that feeling every single day, and he hates having to watch Klaus make the same mistakes over and over again.  Upon hearing this, Klaus is reasonably remorseful towards his brother.  But not enough to allow Ben to possess him again.  He asks Ben why he’s so determined to take control of his body.  Ben explains that he wants to be able to actually speak with Jill, the young woman he fancies.  Upon hearing Ben’s reasons, Klaus finally relents and agrees to let Ben into the driver’s seat for a bit.  But only as long as Ben agrees to obey some ground rules.  For instance, no cutting Klaus’ hair and avoiding any dairy products.  (Guess Klaus is lactose intolerant?) Ben agrees to this, and so Klaus allows him to posses him.  Klaus-Ben then proceeds to relish in the ability to actually interact with the world around him.  Such as eating an orange and feeling dirt under his feet.  Finally, he is able to actually talk with and spend time with Jill.

Over at the farmhouse, Sissy and Vanya are biding their time, trying to make things appear normal so Carl doesn’t suspect their plans to run off together.  Of course, they don’t realize Carl already knows about them, so the scene has a tense overtone to it.  Sissy announces that she plans to take Harlan in for a checkup and asks Vanya if she’d like to come along.  Vanya agrees, suggesting that they swing by the park afterwards.  Clearly, this was their cover story to give them a chance to get a head start before Carl noticed they were missing.  However, Carl disrupts the plan, stating he wants Vanya to give him a ride over to Jim Garvey’s ranch.  Sissy tries to ague her case, stating Harlan likes it when Vanya goes along for his checkups, and her presence helps keep him calm, but Carl is insistent that Vanya goes with him.  Vanya assures Sissy that she’s okay with going with Carl to the ranch, nonverbally telling her that she’s fine with waiting a bit longer.  However, upon arriving at the ranch, Carl reveals to Vanya that he knows about her relationship with Sissy, stating that he will not allow such ‘unnaturalness’ to go on under his roof.  Vanya tells Carl that she’s not afraid of him.  In response to this, Carl threatens to send Harlan away to a facility “better equipped to handle his type.” Unless Vanya agrees to go away.  Vanya, out of a desire to protect Harlan and ensure Sissy won’t loose her son, agrees to leave the farmhouse.  Satisfied, Carl tells Vanya that he expects her to be gone by the time he returns home.

At the Chestnut household, Ray has received word that President Kennedy’s people reached out to their Civil Rights group.  It turns out their protest has gained their attention and they want to sit down and discuss things.  Allison voices her happiness over how things are looking up for Ray and his efforts, but says she’d prefer to sit this one out, stating that she doesn’t feel well.  You get the feeling that something is upsetting her, but she does her best to keep it to herself.  In the end, Ray heads off alone, promising to bring back some soup for her.  As he walks out, Allison tells him that she loves him, but Ray only responds with a smile.  Ray’s failure to say he loves her in return doesn’t improve Allison’s mood.

At Elliot’s apartment, Diego and Luther are gathered around Elliot’s body.  They agree that Elliot deserved better than this.  Diego wonders if the feds were responsible for Elliot’s death, but Luther points out that if the feds were involved, they would have taken Elliot away to question him.  Their attention is then drawn to the message the Swedes left behind, Oga for Oga.  Thinking that Oga is a person, Luther turns to the phone book to look her up, finding a listing for an Olga Foroga.  They proceed to call her up, and Diego threatens her.  But then Number 5 arrives on the scene and informs them that the message Oga for Oga isn’t a name, but a Swedish phrase that translates to ‘an eye for an eye.’  Therefore, it was the Swedes that killed Elliot.  Luther and Diego sheepishly claim they would have realized that eventually.  They then notice that Number 5 is still covered in blood, and Luther demands to know what Number 5 did.  It’s not clear if Number 5 told his brothers about what he had to do, but he does tell them he managed to make a deal to ensure they can all return to their own time, with both doomsdays being prevented.  They just have to find the others first.  Luther is tasked with fetching Allison, Diego is sent to find Klaus and Number 5 volunteers to get Vanya.  The three brothers then part ways, with Number 5 stating they’ll meet up at the alleyway where they first arrived in exactly 77 minutes.  Before they part, Diego questions what they’ll do about 1963 Reginald and President Kennedy.  In response, Number 5 reminds him that Elliot was killed because of them, and they are absolutely taking this chance to go home, before anything else happens.  Diego relents, but states he wants to say goodbye to Lila first.  In frustration, Number 5 informs Diego that Lila works for The Commission and was simply using Diego the whole time.  Diego is visibly upset, but makes it clear that he refuses to believe that Lila was using him.

At The Commission Headquarters, The Handler holds an emergency meeting.  She informs everyone that the entire board of directors were assassinated, and a full investigation is underway.  She goes on to say that she will be taking over as the head of The Commission, and the briefcase room will be temporarily closed as a safety precaution.  We see Lila is standing amongst the crowd, but she gives no indication how she feels about her adoptive mother taking control of The Commission.  After the emegency meeting, The Handler retreats to her new office and dumps AJ into a fish bowl.  She then proceeds to gloat a bit.  Lila, who is sitting nearby, asks if she really has to be there.  She’s clearly not sharing The Handler’s feeling of triumph over the successful coup. To try and get rid of Lila’s ‘bad attitude,’ The Handler gives her a badge that names her head of security.  Lila accepts the position, on the condition that she’s allowed to do things her own way.  The Handler agrees to this, stating Lila has earned this.

Luther approaches Allison, who is just coming back from the market.  He tells her that Number 5 found a way for them to return home.  Allison is stunned by the news, but is heartened by the notion that she might be able to see Claire again.  (Oh, good, she does remember her daughter.)  Of course, Luther admits he’s not sure what sort of world they’ll come back to.  Allison announces that she can’t handle losing people anymore.  She has doubts that Number 5 will get it right this time.  If he doesn’t, she might have to lose her brothers and sister all over again, and she can’t go through that again.  Luther does his best to console her, acknowledging that she’s right in saying it’s not fair that they can’t live normal lives.  However, he reminds her that they don’t belong in 1963, and they need to go back home.  At that moment, Ray returns home.  So Allison has to quickly fill Ray in, stating she and her siblings are going to have to return to 2019 that very day.  Ray is upset when he learns Allison will have to leave in 33 minutes, asking if there’s another way.  He clearly isn’t ready to say goodbye to her.  A tearful Allison asks Ray if he would go with her if she’d asked.  Ray ultimately decides he can’t leave the Civil Rights movement behind.  Even though Allison admits the fight is still going on in 2019, Ray knows his part of the fight is in 1963.  Which means that they have no choice than to part ways.  And they’re both grieving the fact that this is goodbye.  Allison offers to use her powers on Ray, to spare him from feeling sorrow over Allison’s imminent departure from his life.  Ray turns down the offer, stating he doesn’t want to forget Allison or the time they spent together.  And that he’d pick the year he spent with Allison over a lifetime with anyone else. They then kiss one last time.  But the moment is ruined when the Swedes show up at the door, posing as vacuum salesmen.  They quickly punch Allison in the throat, momentarily making her lose her voice so she can’t use her powers on them.  With Allison defenseless, they proceed to attack both her and Ray.  (And props to Ray, as he does put up a good fight.)  After a struggle, Allison manages to incapacitate the Swede attacking her by piercing his eye with a vaccuum attachment.  She then directs her attention on the Swede fighting with Ray and uses her powers on him, instructing him to kill his brother.  So the mind-controlled Swede turns on the other one.  When the deed is done, the last remaining Swede runs off, horrified over what he’d just done.

Meanwhile, Klaus-Ben is still spending time with Jill.  But things get complicated when Jill voices a desire to have sex.  Obviously, this is an issue, as Jill doesn’t realize that she’s actually talking to Ben and not Klaus.  So there’s an obvious dubious consent issue here.  Fortunately, Diego arrives to collect Klaus before anything could happen.  As Diego escorts Klaus-Ben away, Klaus-Ben reveals that he is actually Ben.  At first, Diego doesn’t believe him, thinking Klaus is simply high again.  Klaus-Ben offers to prove it, telling Diego to ask him something only Ben would know.  Deciding to play along, Diego asks Klaus-Ben what they reprogramed Allison’s Teddy Ruxpin to say when they were little.  (Wait, Allison had a Teddy Ruxpin?  Considering what Reginald was like, I wouldn’t think the Hargreeves Siblings were allowed to have toys.)  In response, Klaus-Ben responds with ‘Luther sniffs Dad’s underwear.’  This is enough to convince Diego that he really is talking to Ben.  And he has an emotional reaction to the knowledge that he’s speaking to his long-dead brother again.   Diego tells Ben to remain in Klaus’ body for a bit longer, as they need someone responsible in the driver’s seat for a while.  But Klaus-Ben asks if he can have ten more minutes before they leave to meet up with the others.  He obviously wants to see Jill one last time.  Diego, after a brief hesitation, states that there’s something he needs to do as well.  So he instructs Klaus-Ben to meet him in the alleyway in half an hour.  With that, Diego leaves.  But as soon as he does so, Ben starts to lose his control of Klaus’ body.  So Klaus-Ben has to hurry away to make it to the alleyway before Klaus can fully regain control.  As Klaus-Ben leaves the mansion, he is briefly held up by Keechie, who Klaus-Ben instructs to take over leadership of the cult.

Elsewhere, Vanya is driving back to the famhouse to pack her things and leave Sissy and Harlan behind, as Carl instructed.  And she is visibly upset over the situation.  En route to her destination, she passes by Number 5 on the road.  They both get out of their cars to talk.  Number 5 announces he was looking for her, stating that he found a way for them to return home and they only have half an hour to take it.  Vanya, however, hesitates, stating she can’t just leave her friends.  She insists on bringing them with her.  Number 5 tells her that’s not possible, as Vanya’s friends belong in this timeline, so they must stay where they are.  But Vanya is adamant, passionately stating that Sissy deserves better than being forced to pretend to be someone she’s not.  And Harlan can receive better, more understanding care in 2019 than he could get in the 1960s.  She goes on to say that a mother and her 8-year-old can hardly mess up the timeline, as they’re insignificant in the grand scheme of things.  Number 5 disagrees, stating nobody is insignificant.  He voices his sympathy to Vanya’s plight, but insists they cannot take the risk of bringing Sissy and Harlan with them.  This results in a real confrontation to occur between the two.  Vanya challenges Number 5, asking why he should be allowed to decide.  To this, Number 5 announces that if it wasn’t for him, they’d all be dead now, thanks to Vanya.  In seconds, Vanya and Number 5 are both staring each other down, with both of them activating their powers.  But this doesn’t really go anywhere, as Vanya backs down.  But she still asks Number 5 to allow her the time to say goodbye to Sissy, stating that if he won’t grant her that much then she simply won’t go back with them at all.  Without another world, Vanya turns to walk off, and Number 5 reluctantly agrees to Vanya’s terms, telling her to show up at the designated alley, and to not be late.

Still, when Vanya gets to the farmhouse, Sissy and Harlan are just coming back from the doctor’s office.  Despite what she’d told Number 5, Vanya is still planning on bringing them along.  Vanya tells Sissy that the time for them to leave is now, and they have to leave before Carl gets back.  Sissy is hesitant at first, believing that she owes Carl a final goodbye or something.  After all, he is still her husband.  But Vanya is insistent that she owes Carl nothing, telling her that he knows about them, and that he threated to send Harlan to an institution.  This is enough to convince Sissy to leave with Vanya right away.  But while Vanya escorts Harlan to the car, Sissy ducks back inside to retrieve he secret stash of cash.  However, Sissy then decides, rather foolishly, to leave a note behind for Carl anyway.  So they’re met with a police barricade.  One of the police officers, who Sissy identifies as her brother-in-law, accuses them of kidnapping Harlan.  Vanya ends up fighting back with her powers, which shocks Sissy.  When Vanya looks back at Sissy, as if to gauge her reaction to the revelation that she has powers, she is struck with the handle of a police-issued rifle and is knocked out, much to Sissy’s dismay.

As for Diego, he meets up with Lila while burying Elliot’s body.  Diego confronts Lila over how she’d lied to him over who she really was.  Lila states that everything else she told him was true, and that she only lied about her identity to protect him.  Diego isn’t mollified though.  He asks Lila if she has any idea how hard it is to trust people after spending an entire childhood being manipulated.  He then announces that, once he’s done burring Elliot, he’s going to go home and forget all about her.  Lila, when she realizes Elliot was killed by the Swedes, voices her sorrow over it, stating she liked Elliot and his crazy conspiracy theories.  She and Diego then share a drink in Elliot’s memory.  Only Diego realizes too late that Lila once again tricked him, as there was a sedative mixed into the drink.  Diego quickly loses consciousness.  He comes to later on, inside The Handler’s office, where Lila introduces him to The Handler.  And, to his confusion, Lila identifies Diego as her boyfriend.

The episode ends with Number 5, Luther and Klaus-Ben arriving at the alleyway, with Klaus’ body fully ejecting Ben the moment they arrive.  But because Allison was attacked by the Swedes, Diego was abducted by Lila and Vanya got held up and knocked out by the cops, they all failed to make it to the rendezvous spot in time.  Number 5 vents over how his siblings couldn’t handle the simple task of getting to the alleyway in time.  (Hopefully, he’ll feel bad about that statement when he realizes that Allison, Vanya and Diego weren’t late on purpose.)  When the time traveling briefcase activates, Number 5 is forced to throw it away, resulting in it entering the time vortex without them.  So the Hargeeeves Siblings have lost what might have been their only chance at returning to 2019 and resorting the timeline.

Closing thoughts/questions:

Yeah, I get why Number 5 and Luther were upset over how Allison, Diego and Vanya didn’t make it to the alleyway in time.  But it was still presumptuous of them to conclude that it was due to their own ineptitude or inability to follow directions.  Did it not occur to either of them that something happened to them?  

Come to think of it, why didn’t Luther stick around while Allison said goodbye to Ray?  At the very least, he could have waited outside while she had her final moment with him.  Instead, he up and heads off without her?  Because if he had stuck around, he might have been able to help her fight The Swedes.  And then they could have both made it on time.  (Sure, Diego and Vanya would have still been held up, but still.)

I wonder if Ben will be able to communicate with the other Hargreeves Siblings.  After all, Diego now knows Ben is around and can possess Klaus.  So, if he can get back to the others, he’s sure to tell them about it.

I really hope Sissy and Harlan will be able to get away.  Because they absolutely cannot remain with Carl after this.

My appreciation for Ray just keeps growing.  I feel so bad for him!  Because the love story he had going on with Allison was so beautiful.  It’s made even more lovely with him saying he wouldn’t change a thing about their time together, even though he knows it would never last.  It’s so wonderfully bittersweet!  At least Allison knows what a good, healthy relationship looks like now.

Clearly, Lila does care about Diego.  I wonder if that will be enough for her to turn against The Handler.  I just get the feeling that she’s no longer feeling loyal to her adoptive mother anymore.  So I wonder what she’s got up her sleeve.

Pass the happy! 🌻 When you receive this, list five things that make you happy and send this to 10 of the last people in your notifications. 💛💛💛

1. Because I've been lost in the sauce of replaying Fallout 4, Preston Garvey's reaction to discovering the fabled ~Treasure of Jamaica Plains~ is ... a time capsule full of pre-war junk. (0:00-0:11, though, honestly, all possible companion's reactions are pretty funny; it's just the one time in the game the poor guy actually laughs.)

2. My cat woke me up today by sitting on my chest and purring, instead of headbutting me in the nose (like yesterday).

3. Hot coffee!

4. A good friend's cat was terribly ill, but she's on the mend and I get "status updates" - which are really just photos of her being horribly cute.

5. There's another adaptation of Persuasion in the works, apparently? I don't think it will knock the '95 version off the throne for me, but A NEW ADAPTATION. (though @ whoever cast Henry Golding as William Walter Elliot and not Captain Wentworth ... we need to talk.)

  Therapists were busy reassuring theatergoers after seeing Dame Judi Dench in the trailer for the movie CATS. (See below.)

Meanwhile, three shows opened Off-Broadway last week about real-life world traumas – “the way she spoke,” about the murdered and missing women of Juarez, Mexico; “The Rolling Stone,” about anti-gay hysteria in Uganda, and ‘Mojada,’ which adapts “Medea” to tell the story of an undocumented immigrant family from Mexico.   This prompted a question, which was close to a dilemma, for me: When (if ever) is a play’s subject so urgent and important that its quality as a work of theater feels irrelevant?

The Week in New York Theater Reviews and Previews

Mojada

“Mojada” is sometimes clever in the ways in which it transposes the specifics of Euripides’ story and characters; sometimes the contemporary parallels feel forced.   But the main strength of “Mojada” is in presenting the details of the experience of the 21stcentury Latinx exile in scrupulous and credible detail — often harrowing, sometimes amusing.  By telling this story as an adaptation of an Ancient Greek tragedy, the everyday and oft-ignored traumas of the undocumented are invested with the aura of significance that they deserve.

Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow Moscow

Halley Feiffer’s loud, broad, hip, hyperactive, foul-mouthed, unconventionally cast, aggressively playful and generally off-beat adaptation of Chekhov’s “Three Sisters”… the bells and whistles of the production make it a challenge to engage in the hopes and fears of the characters.

The Bacchae

What would Euripides say about the liberties being taken with his tragedies in New York? Medea,one of his last and most-produced plays, has been turned into the harrowing tale of an undocumented immigrant to Corona, Queens at the Public Theater. The Bacchae, one of his first tragedies, never performed during his lifetime, has become an entertaining pop, rock and hip-hop spectacular in an outdoor amphitheater in Harlem.

The Classic Theatre of Harlem has mounted The Bacchae free to the public at the Richard Rodgers Amphitheater in Marcus Garvey Park, in a version by Bryan Doerries. It would be hard to argue that it brings home the full force or horror that is the usual province of Ancient Greek tragedy. But what is a better tribute to the play’s principal character Dionysus, the god of ecstasy, wine��and theater, than a theatrical production with such intoxicating singing, dancing and design.

The Rolling Stone

“These people recruit, rape and spread disease,” Mama says about homosexuals, not realizing she’s talking to one, in Chris Urch’s play, which takes place in Uganda in 2010.  That was the year that a group of college students led by Giles Muhame launched a newspaper in Kampala called The Rolling Stone that ran photographs of gay Ugandans, with their names and addresses, under the headline “Hang Them.”  One of those named, David Kato, was murdered…. The plays uses these true events of homophobic hysteria only as a backdrop to a fictionalized story that focuses on an 18-year-old gay Ugandan named Dembe. And that counts as a missed opportunity….

The way she spoke

“There is no better place to kill a girl than in Juárez,” says Kate del Castillo in the way she spoke, currently running at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre. The well-known Mexican actress is making her English-speaking stage debut in Isaac Gomez’s solo drama about the epidemic of violence against women in the Mexican city. Under Jo Bonney’s direction, she plays some 15 characters, including the mothers of las desaparecidas, missing young women presumed murdered in Ciudad Juárez; a man accused of killing eight of them and even the Virgin Mary.

“This is the biggest challenge in my career for sure,” says del Castillo…. “It is physically, mentally and emotionally demanding to live these people every day.”

The Week in New York Theater News

Beautiful: the Carole King Musical. will close October 27, 2019 after 60 previews and 2,428 performances.

And it’s too late, baby now, it’s too late Though we really did try to make it Somethin’ inside has died, and I can’t hide And I just can’t fake it, oh, no, no

Waitress will close on Broadway Jan 5, 2020 after 33 previews and 1544 performances. This is a shame. The score is sweet in all the right ways. Why not keep going via Chicago-like stunt casting w/ a twist: Every major star who was ever a waitress. Bad Idea?

Five years after All the Way brought President Lyndon Baines Johnson to Broadway, he is back with Robert Schenkkan’s 2014 follow-up play “The Great Society,” starring Brian Cox as LBJ, Grantham Coleman as MLK Jr, and Richard Thomas as Hubert Humphrey. It begins Sept 6, 2019 for a 12-week run at Vivian Beaumont

” Is this what late-stage capitalism looks like? I just don’t get it.” reaction to “Cats” by Michael R. Jackson, usher of The Lion King for four years (which he hated) and playwright of “A Strange Loop.” Jackson on the new Lion King movie: “I don’t understand these live-action remakes just on an artistic level. That’s just me. I’m a little curmudgeonly that way.”
