The Magic Circle Theater Company

The Magic Circle Theater Company is dedicated to rescuing and re-imagining classic works of theater. By viewing these plays through a contemporary lens and producing new works with classical themes, we aim to revitalize these stories for a modern audience.

Sounds like a very intriguing production of a very difficult Shakespeare play.  I’m going to try and get up to New York to see it.  I think it would be very inspiring.  Above is a link to the New York Times rave review.

I also want to see Classic Stage Company’s production of Chekhov’s Three Sisters with Maggie Gyllenhaal as Masha and Peter Sarsgaard as Vershinin.  The Williamstown Theatre Festival book on acting Chekhov totally unlocked those plays for me, and this Three Sisters is directed by Austin Pendleton, one of the actor/directors I so admired in that book.  Lots of great classical theatre to see in New York this winter!
