Fiasco Theater, the young ensemble that enjoyed a New York hit with an adaptation of “Cymbeline†and is now mounting a stripped-down version of “Into the Woods,†will return to Shakespeare with a production of “Measure for Measure.â€
“Measure for Measure†will be part of a 2013-14 season at the New Victory Theater with a decidedly international flavor, with 15 productions from seven countries.
The season begins on Oct. 4 with “Peter Pan†from the Sydney, Australia, troupe Belvoir Theater and set in the Australian bush. The company made a splash at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2011 with its adaptation of Nikolai Gogol's “Diary of a Madman,†starring Geoffrey Rush.
From Tanzania comes Circus der Sinne's “Mother Africa,†which combines traditional African music and dance and contemporary circus acts. Adventure Theater, from Maryland, will present “Bob Marley's Three Little Birds,†featuring music and lyrics by the reggae giant and inspired by a book of that title by his daughter Cedella Marley and Gerald Hausman.
The Fiasco production, which runs from February 28 to March 16, will be a world premiere; the company's “Into the Woods†continues at the McCarter Theater in Princeton, N.J., through June 9.
The New Victory, which bills itself as appealing to children, families and audiences of all ages, will offer productions for theatergoers as young as four months. They include “Baby Rave,†a club party complete with a disc jockey, from the Belfast company Young at Art.
Ticket information for the season is at available at NewVictory.org and at (646) 223-3010.
