A few words about Little Lord.
I met Michael Levinton when he was working as a producer at Target Margin Theater. During that time I saw his play, Balabustas, an adaptation of Women at the Thesmophoria – by far the funniest, most outrageous adaptation of an Aristophanes play I have ever seen – wonderfully vulgar, madcap and clever. Michael directed and acted in the production – and was such an engaging performer, David Herskovits and I cast him in Target Margin’s production of my play, Old Comedy – where he turned in a infectious performance as a very macho Hercules and very tart prostitute. When he founded Little Lord, I performed in his terrifically cheeky adaptation of Victor Herbert’s Babes in Toyland.
If clever and cheeky was all Little Lord did it would be worth supporting simply for the good fun it provides. But (oh my god I am so) THIRST(y), Michael’s fanciful yet faithful production of Eugene O’Neill’s early play, Thirst, was not only irreverent, it was startlingly serious and moving – and emblematic of the company’s dedication, resourcefulness, intelligence and theatrical ingenuity. Little Lord’s upcoming Pocahontas promises to be great fun and splendidly subversive.
Michael and his cohorts deftly combine avant-garde techniques associated with companies like Target Margin and traditions derived from theatre of the ridiculous. It’s work well worth watching and well worth supporting.
Sincerely,
David Greenspan
