The toothed vagina appears in the mythology of many and diverse cultures all over the world. In these myths, the story is always the same. The hero must do battle with the woman. The toothed creature can break her power.

TEETH (2007)

💁‍♀️Strong Female Lead

Interesting story of one girl's struggles and then sacrifices. Not specifically a scary movie though, unless you have a penis. I also disagree that the movie is a comedy. I understand that the title concept might seem silly but the execution feels righteous and sad.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Stars an abstinent girl, Dawn, who loves being a Christian and her “Just Wait” group or whatever. She crushes hard on this guy and when things get hot and heavy, she says stop but he won't and he straight up rapes her. Karma’s a bitch because Dawn straight up bites off his dick with her toothy vagina. He freaks out, swims away, dies of shock and blood loss.

The rest of the movie is her trying to confide in people about her unique ability but folks (usually folks with penises) keep using and abusing her (then getting body parts removed, guess which ones). Ends with the poor girl finally starting to realize how she can flip the script and use her chompers against those who would do her and other women harm. Dawn is an anti-hero but she never asked for all those teeth in her vagina in the first place so I’m proud of her for being any kind of hero at all.

Susannah flood actress twitter

#SUSANNAH FLOOD ACTRESS TWITTER HOW TO#

#SUSANNAH FLOOD ACTRESS TWITTER SERIES#

In this article, we explore her life, background, and career thus far, read on to learn more. Before she began her appearance on For The People, she made other appearances in shows like Chicago Fire and Deadbeat. She is hard at work building a career that could very well lead her to the top of the art. Susannah Flood plays the character, Kate Littlejohn, on the show. Among that select group of those who get to experience a career as an actor or actress is Susannah Flood, an actress who stormed onto the spotlight through her appearance in the ABC Drama, For The People. Shaped by mega industries like Hollywood, it has become an art that millions all over the world desire to partake in but very few get to experience. “Birthday Candles,” at its best, bubbles up our own cherished and difficult memories of the people in our lives who’ve come and gone.Acting is one of the most interesting, followed, and financially rewarding forms of creativity. Nonetheless, Haidle’s plays (his better “Smokefall” did not receive the production it deserved when it played New York back in 2016) have a way of convincing every audience member they’ve been written just for them. Fun, sure, but it’s awfully tough to smell nostalgic homemade dessert when you’re wearing a medical-grade mask. And - look out, Julia Child! - Messing bakes an actual cake onstage. A goldfish named Atman (“the Sanskrit word for self”) sits on the kitchen table for most of the play to lend some continuity, but it comes across as gimmick. Her youthful and elderly characterizations are too sit-com silly and the transition between ages - which should be a stellar acting showcase - is abrupt and stilted. Moments that are merely sad in director Vivienne Benesch’s production could be devastating.Īnd Haidle has his writerly indulgences, too. She crosses the finish line on likability alone, yet you can’t help but think that Ernestine is a meatier role than Messing has made it. Messing, meanwhile, doesn’t quite rise to the occasion of her one very challenging part. Susannah Flood and Debra Messing in “Birthday Candles.” Joan MarcusĮvery actor here other than Messing and Enrico Colantoni, who plays a boy who pines for Ernestine named Kenneth, deftly takes on multiple roles (John Earl Jelks plays her husband, Matt, among others). Finn, making her Broadway debut, is a talent to watch. When she chastises herself in the third person - “You ruin everything, Joan! They’re all laughing at you!” - she morphs into everybody’s strange in-law. Impressively getting more laughs than the “Will and Grace” star is the hilarious Crystal Finn as Joan, Billy’s neurotic college girlfriend and later wife. The actors who play rebellious Madeline and Billy, Susannah Flood and Christopher Livingston, storm in with tremendous humor and energy and cut through the weird, stuffy, “Philadelphia Story” act Messing is doing. The actress overdoes it playing a teen, and Haidle writes partly in metaphysical mumbo-jumbo that can be hit-and-miss.įor instance, her second line is, “In the career of my soul, how many times have I turned from wonder?” That’s a bit heady for a show’s first 30 seconds.īut “Birthday Candles,” which is set in one kitchen, shakes off the pretentiousness when Ernestine enters middle age and has children of her own.

#SUSANNAH FLOOD ACTRESS TWITTER HOW TO#

The play begins when Ernestine is 17, and is learning how to make a birthday cake with her mother - a tradition she will repeat every single year. Debra Messing, center, plays 90 years of one woman’s life in “Birthday Candles” on Broadway. That all too truthful observation about aging makes you want to run out and call grandma. The parties start out big and boisterous, and by the end of the sequence, no one is visiting her house anymore.

#SUSANNAH FLOOD ACTRESS TWITTER SERIES#

During one scene, we race through a series of her birthday celebrations in her eighties and nineties over a matter of seconds. What really packs a punch, though, are her smaller losses. Deaths, cheating and health scares are all weathered with Midwestern steeliness that hides immense pain. The name of Ernestine’s hometown, Grand Rapids, describes her rocky, unpredictable road well.Īfter every victory for Ernestine (Debra Messing) - an invitation to prom, the birth of a child, the starting of a new business - a crushing blow soon follows. Of course, when you condense nine decades into an hour and a half, both bliss and tragedy arrive faster than spam emails on a Monday. 90 minutes, At the American Airlines Theatre, 227 W 42nd Street.

DG National Report: New York – Western
 by Donna Hoke

@dramatistsguild @donnahoke

Founded in 1874, Chautauqua Institution, a nonprofit summer destination on 750 gorgeous acres in Western New York, serves more than 100,000 visitors each year with programs focused on religion, education, recreation, and, the arts. Over the eight-week summer season, and under the arts umbrella—which includes a resident symphony, opera company, and dance company among others—the resident Chautauqua Theatre Company (CTC) presents three mainstage performances, runs a student conservatory, and, for our purposes, engages in new play development.

Each summer, three playwrights are invited to develop their work for two weeks at the Institute; every other year, one of these plays is a commission. Most recently, it was Zayd Dohrn’s The Profane, which recently finished an extended run at Playwrights Horizons.

“I had an amazing experience at Chautauqua,” says Dohrn. “It’s a strange place, out of place and somehow out of time, but it’s also an incredibly supportive community for a writer. In the midst of this idyllic Norman Rockwell summer camp, they pull together a Dirty Dancing-style ensemble of New York actors, directors, and designers who can put together a production of a new play as good as any in the country. Chautauqua commissioned The Profane from me sight unseen, based on nothing but their belief in my earlier work. And unlike many commissioning institutions, they stayed committed to it every step of the way, through readings, and workshops, to its off-Broadway premiere.”

The submission process used to be more of an open one, with playwrights asked to submit plays to complement the themes of that year’s programming. Now, many of the plays are found through ongoing relationships with the company. “We have relationships with young playwrights, and we’re meeting others out in our professional lives,” says new Artistic Director Andrew Borba. “We’re working those relationships to find plays that work for us at Chautauqua Institute, but also that can use what we have to offer in the next step in their development, and that has taken on a few forms.”

For this 34th season, Noah Haidle’s Birthday Candles was workshopped in June, and presented as several enhanced staged readings in preparation for its world premiere at Detroit Public Theatre, which commissioned it; this model is what Borba would like to see going forward. “If you ask playwrights what they need, they say productions, so even though it’s called the New Play Workshop, we’re trying to lean into that, not just give them a taste of production, but build connections that lead to productions,” he says. “This is a perfect example of where Viv [Vivienne Benesch, previous artistic director] came back to direct it, and then she will take it to Detroit, and direct it there. So we had Noah able to work his play with the director who’s going to direct it professionally, but in a safe environment, where he doesn’t have to worry about anything other than what is working in his play and what is not working.”

The second new play, to be staged in early August, is Dan Cody’s Yacht by Anthony Giardina. “He’d contacted us, because we’d been interested in City of Conversation years ago, and we couldn’t make the dates work, so when Manhattan Theatre Club commissioned this work from him, he contacted us. He and his director will come here to do some work before they go back and stage it at MTC. That’s what we’re hoping to do—provide resources and time and a safe place to work where Ben Brantley doesn’t have a machete that can keep you alive for years or cut you down before you’re ready. That is a change we are consciously focusing on for these new plays.

“Much of the theory is to give it some technical support, test it in terms of the staging, because, a lot of times, music stand readings require the audience to do all of the imagining,” Borba continues. “Sometimes it’s as simple as ‘this character can’t exit there’ or it’s more of a tonal thing. When Chelsea Marcantel was here with Tiny Houses, she knew the story of the play was holding together, but she needed to build a tiny house on stage to see if that would work, and that’s what we focused on. It was representative, but it was a tiny house.”

At press time, the third play was still in question, but anybody who would like to be the first to see Dan Cody’s Yacht or the third play in the New Play Workshop Signature Staged Readings can buy tickets at http://ciweb.org/chautauqua-theater-company. (Tickets for the mainstage shows—Noises Off, Detroit ‘67, and Romeo and Juliet—are also available.)

Also this month, pending final confirmation not available at press time, Lydia Diamond (Stick Fly, Smart People) visits Chautauqua as part of the Dramatists Guild Fund’s Traveling Masters program. Watch your inboxes for a blast about specifics for a free event with Diamond, likely a bring-your-own-lunch program at the Institute, which Borba says he hopes can be the start of an ongoing relationship with the WNY community.

“Being isolated is a great thing, a selling point, but how do we take that isolated specialness and move it back into the world?” Borba asks. “The New Play Workshop is the best example of how we do that, but when we talk about connecting, it also means being connected to the community and the local region.”
