Description:
The Radford University College of Visual & Performing Arts presents the virtual theatre performance of "Terminating or Sonnet LXXV or ‘Lass meine Schmerzen nicht verloren Sein’ or Ambivalence" with three performances starting on Thursday, October 1, 2020 through Saturday, October 3, 2020.

Performance Dates:
• Thursday, October 1st at 7:30 pm
• Saturday, October 3rd at 2:00 pm
• Saturday, October 3rd at 7:30 pm

Enjoy two different one-act plays written by Tony Kushner; “Terminating or Sonnet LXXV or ‘Lass meine Schmerzen nicht verloren Sein’ or Ambivalence” and “Reverse Transcription: Six Playwrights Bury a Seventh,” directed by senior theatre major Adian Chapman.

In the first of the Kushner plays, “Terminating or Sonnet LXXV or ‘Lass Meine Schmerzen Nicht Verloren Sein’ or Ambivalence,” Hendryk is forced to come to terms with his own uncertainties on love, life, and sex. It’s a somber story of a fragile man trying to work through his mental anguish.

The second Kushner play “Reverse Transcription: Six Playwrights Bury a Seventh,” features a group of playwrights gathered together to bury their close friend Ding in the beautiful Abel’s Hill cemetery. Their highly illegal interment of their former colleague does not stop them from having a rousing discussion about life. Why do people write? What does success feel like? How does it change people?
