THE RIME OF THE ANCIENT MARINER

September 11 – October 12 at Z Space

Directed by Delia MacDougall and Jim Cave

Considered by some to be a “green parable,” this epic voyage is a tale of man’s crime against nature, with the shooting of the magnificent albatross—and the havoc which nature wreaks in return. Z Space’s stage will be turned into a sailing ship (Oliver DiCicco and Colm McNally, scenic design) surrounded by the sea and the elements (Hana Kim, video projections; Ray Oppenheimer, lighting, Matt Stines, sound; Nol Simonse, choreography; Nikki Anderson-Joy, costumes). We hope that you will enjoy Word for Word’s expansive take on this take on this classic epic poem.

 

We should go!
