    • William Mastrosimone

      William Mastrosimone's play EXTREMITIES was destined to bring him fame. Starring Farrah Fawcett Off-Broadway and then in a version for the screen, EXTREMITIES sparked much controversy as it dealt with the sensitive issue of rape. Mastrosimone made his professional debut with THE WOOLGATHERER in 1981. In 1992, he won a Golden Globe for his miniseries Sinatra, and he received an Emmy nomination for The Burning Season. His play LIKE TOTALLY WEIRD debuted in 1998 at the 22nd Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville. His play BANG BANG YOU'RE DEAD, based on a shooting incident in Oregon that killed two students and injured 22, appeared as a movie on Showtime in October 2002. The screenplay adaptation of Benedict Arnold, starring Kelsey Grammer and Aidan Quinn, premiered on A&E in January 2003. Other projects include THE AFGHAN WOMEN, which premiered in Kabul, Afghanistan, and is available to colleges and universities to perform as a fundraiser for Afghan orphans through International Orphan Care. In 2005, Mastrosimone was nominated for an Emmy award for his writing on the Stephen Spielberg-produced TV miniseries Into the West.

    Midway through Albert Camus's The Stranger, an Arab is killed. Leaping from this moment and working backwards through possible histories of tangled romance, ethnic conflict, and random violence, Betty Shamieh has crafted a play inspired by this unnamed character. Infused with elements of Middle Eastern oral storytelling traditions and set in French Algiers on the brink of revolution, THE STRANGEST is an absurdist murder mystery about three Algerian brothers who vie for the love of the same woman. Their bitter rivalry ends with one brother being inexplicably gunned down by a French stranger.

    Play Description

    At an elite women’s college in Massachusetts, two minor crises emerge during the fall semester: the philandering head of the English Department decides to callously end his affair with a colleague, and an aging professor is caught making unwanted sexual advances toward a student. But in the academic world of the early 21st century, there is no such thing as a minor crisis. For Jacob Freundlich, an English professor approaching middle age, the sudden necessity of making moral choices, rather than just teaching books about them, leads him into a devastating midlife crisis of his own. A comedy about the necessity, and the exquisite pain, of making choices.

    “Poets’ Walk is the name of a park, or rather a series of trails that skirt along the Hudson River. Legend has it that Washington Irving got his idea for Rip Van Winkle while walking through this property and gazing out at the Catskill Mountains. Other writers through the ages supposedly have found solace here. It is a place of profound beauty, and, when not crowded on weekends, of peace; here one can lose oneself, or gain a distance from the outside world’s swirling around. It is a place to think.” —from the author’s Introduction
