Open Rehearsal: The Court Theatre Blog

Winsor McCay and Georges Méliès
Spending a few hours in tech for The Illusion this weekend, contemplating the design of the production (which is really beautiful and mysterious), the play started evoking images to me from Little Nemo in Slumberland (by comic strip artist Winsor McCay) and The Trip to the Moon (by filmmaker Georges Méliès)
I wish I could explain more about what I mean by these images, but I’d have to spoil the play. Suffice to say that there’s a dreamlike quality to some of this production that I’ve never quite seen in theater before.
