The production of MAGELLANICA that I'm working on out in Portland, Oregon, just got a nice feature in the science section of The New Yorker. It's quite a compliment to this beautiful piece of theatre that we would get press coverage like this. Come see it if you are in Portland!
“‘No one goes to Antarctica accidentally,’ the American climatologist Morgan Halsted says at the beginning of ‘Magellanica,’ a five-part epic that premières this weekend at the Artists Repertory Theatre, in Portland, Oregon. Halsted, played by Sara Hennessy, is part of an eight-person international research team headed into the deep and unrelenting night of a polar winter. Unfolding over an absorbing six hours, ‘Magellanica’ follows the team members through their months at the South Pole, during which they confront the elements, one another, and humanity’s collective future.”
