A very interesting evening at Human Race Theatre Company. The Ambition Bird, book/music/lyrics by Matthew Sheridan is a (mostly) one-woman show about the poet Anne Sexton. I was very glad I'd read up on Sexton beforehand, because those who had not had some difficulty following what was happening. The production was a "staged reading," so the performers were on-book much of the time. There was a Q&A after the 75-minute production, during which Sheridan talked about the development of the piece, the director talked about staging and such, and Kay Bosse, who plays Anne, talked about her preparation.
