New York Theatre Workshop (NYTW) has announced two additional plays that will comprise its 2012-2013 season, including A Civil War Christmas by Paula Vogel. The work, to be directed by Tina Landau, uses the personal stories and struggles of a wide range of historical figures and fictional characters — from the President’s wife to runaway slaves, Union and Confederate soldiers to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Walt Whitman to create a portrait of life in America on a blustery Christmas Eve in 1864.
The season will also include Sontag: Reborn, which NYTW will present in collaboration with The Builders Association. Based on the book by Susan Sontag and edited by David Rieff, the piece, adapted and performed by Moe Angelos, offers a look at the prolific essayist before she was a world-renowned author and activist. The production, seen earlier this year as part of The Public Theater’s Under the Radar festival, is directed by Marianne Weems.
As previously reported, the NYTW season will also include Alexander Dinelaris’ Red Dog Howls and Amy Herzog’s Belleville.
