MUSE The Play is the 2014 2B play, put together by the second year class at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture. The class is responsible for all aspects of production - including costume, set, props, writing, acting, budgeting. Please join us for a night of theater, drama, beauty, and entertainment. It's our pleasure to share our vision with you. SYNOPSIS:
It is New York City, 1906
, with all the wonder and wealth of the new American aristocracy. But beneath the city’s gilded surface simmers a volatile and frenzied world - a world fuelled by raw impulse, obsession, and sensuality. This is a story of doomed love constructed like the fevered and fragmented images created in the imagination; at its centre, the artist’s model and muse, Evelyn Nesbitt. She inspires desire from the richest man in America, Harry Thaw, New York’s most famous architect, Stanford White, and a young artist, John Barrymore. The players in this game are moving sculptures: proto-architecture that re-interprets form by creating and fabricating realities, where the unknown is not something that lies outside the city, but within our minds. We are not responsible for the things we come to be. INQUIRIES & TICKET PURCHASES:
