PITTSBURGH THEATER: THE CREATIVE TALE OF GHOSTS
Once again, the creative experts at off the WALL Theater deliver a thought-provoking, once in a lifetime story in the form of Ghosts.
According to Artistic Director, Virginia Wall Gruenert, Ghosts delivers a challenging and sometimes painful theme of the damage done by secrets of infidelity, incest, seedy family stories and more.
Ghosts was purposely selected as the first ever classic to be presented on the stage of off the WALL Theater. At the time of its 19th century roots, Ghosts was a dramatic and groundbreaking play that insulted society by exposing the unspoken deeds of darkness, an approach embraced by off the WALL‘s founder and creative leadership. The play also presents one of the greatest female characters of all time, also in keeping with off the WALL‘s focus on bringing women actors to the forefront of today’s stage.
Director Simm Landres carries his film experience to the stage. (Simm had roles in Rachel, Rachel and Alice’s Restaurant). His artistic touch delivers an intimate view of every character, making their pain accessible and even palpable to the audience.
The cast of Ghosts delivers what can only be called a sensational and realistic portrayal of a dark message. Cast member Sarah Silk makes her debut on off the WALL‘s stage, joining familiar cast members including Virginia Wall Gruenert, Ken Bolden, Shaun Cameron Hall, and Weston Blakesley.
