In addition to the Shakespeare Theatre version, the east coast will get at least two other Peers this year. David Henry Hwang has undertaken a new adaptation that will premiere at Trinity Rep in Providence, Rhode Island this month and New York's Theater for the New City will unveil an Appalachian version by Romulus Linney. Look out for a review of the latter in CurtainUp later this month. The Shakespeare Theatre production runs through March 8. The Corcoran Gallery of Art has invited an impressive group of major playwrights to participate in a series of discussions on plays and the theater.
Tickets are available for the series or four individual evenings.
