WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Phoenix Theatre Ensemble continues its ambitious third season with the New York premier of Alfred, Lord Tennyson's Maud - The Madness, the famous poet's "little Hamlet," performed by Jonathan Tindle and directed by Niegel Smith.
Consumed in grief by his father's untimely death, the hapless protagonist of Tennyson's "little Hamlet" rages alone at a world of injustice and hypocrisy. When Maud, his beautiful childhood friend, resurfaces and gleams with the possibility for reconciliation and renewal, she becomes the one bright thing that may save him from the violent extremes of emotional triumph and despair. Met with critical outrage in 1855 as "Prose run mad," Maud - the Madness exposes the fragile semblance of sanity we construct to survive.

If you ever jokingly say "Come into the garden, Maud" when inviting someone to join you at an activity, you're reciting verse written by the Victorian poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Jonathan Tindle and Niegel Smith have not only scrutinized the venerated wordsmith's 1855 poem Maud with the hawk's eye but have taken seriously Tennyson's description of it as a "monodrama" and turned the crackling narrative into an 80-minute theater piece entitled
Maud -- The Madness. Tindle performs it in an undertaking so unexpected and daunting that the very attempt stops you in your tracks -- even if the challenge Tindle has given himself is ultimately too demanding to be entirely successful.
