Barker assembles a cast of Londoners, misfits all, for her novel. Lily, the girl born wihtout fully-formed organs: Sara, Lily's mother and a boar farmer: Luke, the former pornographic photographer who smells of fish; Ronny, missing his big toes. At the slippery heart of her tale are two adult brothers, Nathan and Jim (whose name is really Ronny--all will be explained later) and Nathan's quest for redemption at not forcing his brother to escape from their pedophilic father...
Crimson Arts decided to probe the question by meeting with Ryan McGee '98 and Sara D. Newbold '00, authors of So Many Shades of Blue, a new production which will be running through October 24 at the Kronauer Space in Adams House. The play focuses on the episodic memories of a relationship between characters played by Christian P. Roulleau '01 and Karin J. Alexander '02. McGee, Newbold and Alexander were on hand to discuss specifics of the writing process--replete with revisions and re-revisions--as well as the general state of student-written theatre in the greater college community...
...Ryan and Sara, the two of you have been involved in a number of theatrical productions here at Harvard and have served in a number of different capacities. Why did you decide to take upon the roles of playwright and producer for this project...
...Yeah, I think it's been very interesting for Christian [Roulleau] and I to see how what we have done affects Sara and Ryan. It's quite wonderful at the end of an evening to have them come and say to us, "That was well done," because it's their work. And yet, we've brought a different dimension to it. It's nice to feel that we've added to it....and it's been beautiful to take it and bring it to life in a way that reflects what they wanted...
...also, bridging the line between arrogance and confidence. Ultimately, this play is me and Sara--we're putting ourselves very much on the line as well. Having a space like the Kronauer, you really can't hide anything...We have to have confidence that what we're doing is good work and will be well-received...
