A NOISE WITHIN PRODUCING CLASSICS
Two productions are running in repertory at A Noise Within,
Glendale's classical theater company.
Director Craig Belknap makes his debut with Moliere's "The Miser."
Harpagon, the Miser, loves money almost as much as he loves himself.
Determined to marry off his son and daughter -- at a profit -- and
take a young bride for himself at an even greater profit, Harpagon's
attempts at courtship are almost thwarted when a conniving
matchmaker, a shrewd servant and a surly cook all want money in order
to do their work. But when Harpagon's secret love -- his buried
treasure -- is stolen, romance is off and the chase for the criminal
is on.
The play continues in repertory with Shakespeare's "Coriolanus"
until Dec. 7.
Coriolanus, a creature singularly bred for violent combat, braces
for a meteoric rise as Rome's greatest warrior. Unable to sever the
tentacle-like apron strings of his honor-seeking, bloodthirsty
mother, Coriolanus struggles to grasp control of a universe filled
with treachery and rebellion. It is only when Coriolanus uses honesty
as a blunt instrument to strive for real depths, does he discover his
real self.
Company artistic co-directors Geoff Elliott and Julia Rodriguez
Elliott are directing this piece. Geoff Elliott also appears in the
starring role.
It plays in repertory through Dec. 6. Tickets range from $20 to
$40 and can be reserved by calling 240-0910. A Noise Within makes its
