Joel Beers of OC Weekly previews Skylight while juxtaposing David Hare and Chance Theater.
Both Chance Theater and esteemed playwright David Hare have had an extraordinary last 20 years; one has grown to be a regional powerhouse in theatre while the other has honed his chops at playwrighting and storytelling. In his preview, Beers discusses Skylight with Director and Chance Artistic Director Oanh Nguyen, who talks about the story and why it’s so relevant today.
“But the focus on people, not the political, is a key reason why Chance artistic director Oanh Nguyen chose Skylight as the first non-musical play he’s directed since 2015″
“Rarely do you see a play where true love is the obstacle; it’s usually what [drives] a play.”
“Rather than keeping the older, free-market-loving restaurateur and his former lover, a female schoolteacher who works with underprivileged kids, together, love keeps them apart in Skylight”
