Wintertime

Jonathan loves Ariel, Ariel loves Jonathan, Jonathan’s mother loves Jonathan’s father except that his father also loves another man and his mother also loves a Frenchman who might also love Ariel. Taking inspiration from Anne Carson’s Eros the Bittersweet – with a composer, an ice-fishing accident and a hot tryst in Zagreb thrown in – Charles Mee gives us a lavish, moving, operatic farce on the divine insanity of love and desire and fidelity. David Schwizer directs a cast that includes Marsha Mason.
