The Storm Theatre, in association with in association with The Blackfriars Repertory Theatre, is proud to present its ongoing festival:
THE PAUL CLAUDEL PROJECT
Celebrating the life and work of the world-renowned playwright, poet and diplomat.

THE TIDINGS BROUGHT TO MARY, March 13th through April 4th, 2009
Future productions:
THE SATIN SLIPPER, coming January 2010

"THE TIDINGS BROUGHT TO MARY is an introduction to the work of one of the 20th century's greatest geniuses. In the three plays that we will present, Claudel explores the natures, differences and interactions of human and divine love, and how the resulting conflicts serve a greater plan. These three plays each tell stories of divine grace and adulterous passion in completely different styles and settings," said Peter Dobbins, artistic director of The Storm Theatre.
If you didn't see THE TIDINGS BROUGHT TO MARY, here's what you missed:
"an elegant and thought-provoking production" . . . "expertly performed by Erin Beirnard and Laura Bozzone" . . . "Ross DeGraw is a commanding stage presence" . . . "Jenny D. Green gives a touching performance" . . . "It is a meaty work, smartly produced and acted." click here for more!

LATEST COMPANY NEWS:
The Storm Theatre has been chosen by nytheatre.com as one of its
"People of the Year" for 2007!
nytheatre.com had this to say about the Storm:
"Helmed by artistic director Peter Dobbins, the Storm distinguished itself
this year with a fine new play (John Regis's Linnea) plus the unprecedented and invaluable
festival of plays by Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II). The latter event gave New Yorkers
an opportunity to see four seldom-produced plays, including the fascinating
The Jeweler's Shop."

LINNEA has been published in The New York Theatre Experience's collection PLAYS AND PLAYWRIGHTS 2008!
