Production Notes

Director's Notes

"Open your heart and the world will be yours.
Let your soul soar and discover
...tenderness...
...depth...
...clarity...
...hope...
...exhilaration...
...life..."

--Kathy Hsieh, Director of The Loveliest Afternoon of the Year

Artistic Director's Notes

On this hundredth anniversary year of Oscar Wilde's masterpiece, it has been a pleasure for us to develop and work on this condensed adaptation, and also to present it to you along with John Guare's unusually charming romantic short, and Eugene Ionesco's infamous and theatrically challenging anti-play. "Variety is the spice of life.".

On behalf of myself, Kathy, Robert and the casts and crew, I hope you enjoyed the three very different works presented in our "mini-festival" of world theatre.

--David Hsieh, ReAct's Managing Artistic Director
