Fear doesn’t travel well; just as it can warp judgment\, its absence can diminish memory’s truth. What terrifies one generation is likely to bring only a puzzled smile to the next. \nIn those years\, our thought processes were becoming so magical\, so paranoid\, that to imagine writing a play about this environment was like trying to pick one’s teeth with a ball of wool: I lacked the tools to illuminate miasma. Yet I kept being drawn back to it. \nI am not sure what “The Crucible” is telling people now\, but I know that its paranoid center is still pumping out the same darkly attractive warning that it did in the fifties.” \n-Arthur Miller\, Why I Wrote The Crucible \nFRIDAY\, OCTOBER 27\, 2023 \nTHE NUBOX at John DeSotelle Studio\n6:30pm Refreshments \n7:00pm START\n \nRSVP please or more information Email: info@desotellestudio.com \n\n\n  \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][/vc_row] URL:https://desotellestudio.com/event/studio-reading-night-the-crucible/ LOCATION:John DeSotelle Studio\, 754 Ninth Avenue\, 3rd & 4th floor\, New York\, NY\, 10019\, United States CATEGORIES:Events ORGANIZER;CN="John DeSotelle Studio":MAILTO:jds_news@desotellestudio.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20221120T183000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20221120T213000 DTSTAMP:20260403T175829 CREATED:20221108T200523Z LAST-MODIFIED:20221108T204823Z UID:2757-1668969000-1668979800@desotellestudio.com SUMMARY:Studio Reading Night - God of Carnage DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/12″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”5/6″]November 20\, 2022Cold Reading Night at the Studio[vc_empty_space alter_height=”none” hide_on_mobile=””][vc_column_text] \nGOD OF CARNAGE\nby Yasmina Reza\ntranslation by Christopher Hampton \nGod of Carnage is a savage\, satirical piece of knifework. \n A playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter.
