The Rise of Dorothy
Hale, the new mystery/thriller by Myra Bairstow, directed by Pamela Hall,
welcomes Purva Bedi, Dina Ann Comolli, and Matthew Cowles to the cast, joining
remaining cast members Patrick Boll, Laura Koffman, and Mark LaMura, beginning
Monday November 12. They will be replacing Sarah Wynter, Sarita Choudhury and
Michael Badalucco, respectively.
History has recorded that Dorothy Hale, the widow of
American muralist Gardner Hale, died in New
York City on October 21, 1938 after plunging sixteen
stories from her apartment window at the Hampshire House on Central Park
South. She was thirty-three years
old. Dorothy's death was ruled a
suicide. The story of Dorothy Hale has never really been thoroughly
examined. Until now. The Rise Of Dorothy Hale
explores the life and death of Dorothy Hale through the creative process of
Frida Kahlo and enables the contradictions in history to stand face to
face.
Extraordinary art ignites a quest for higher truth and
evokes an awakened clarity. Frida Kahlo
left behind a liberation for Dorothy Hale by memorializing a story that would
one day be uncovered and told. The Rise of
Dorothy Hale emanates from a journey began through this greatly felt
painting.
Performances are Monday, Wednesday through Saturday at 8 PM,
with matinees Wednesday at 2PM and Saturday & Sunday at 3 PM at St Luke's
Theatre (308 West 46th Street,
between Eighth and Ninth Avenues). The
Rise of Dorothy Hale is presented by Edmund Gaynes and Aridyne Productions,
LLC.
