Mystic Bison Theatre & DanceTMPresentsThe California Premiere of Purgatorio**
by Ariel Dorfman ![]() (Barbara A. Brewer and Mark R. Carter, Ph.D. Photography by Michael Sexton) DIRECTED BY MARK R. CARTER, PH.D. Starring:
He
was a conqueror,
and she was a sorcerer priestess. He was entranced by her
powers. She
loved him for his greatness and became
his guide. Together they
made
history. Now, in this nameless, timeless institution, they each
must come to terms with who they really are and discover whether
love truly is forever and whether it can overcome betrayal, hatred, and
even revenge. (Jason (of the Argonauts) and Medea are implanted
in a story reminiscent of part of Dante's Purgatorio and a place
resembling a penitentiary, a sanitarium, or the afterlife.) "... highly recommended ..."- San Francisco
Tribune "...an intense psychological
parable..."-
San Francisco Examiner "I saw this play on Sat, [3/17]. The
plot is creative, compelling, and thought-provoking, and it was
powerfully
acted. Though the title is in [Italian], the performance is in English
(so have
no fear!). I recommend it highly" - Josie WHEN:
