Oscar-winning actress Lupita Nyong'o is to star on Broadway in Eclipsed, a play written by Walking Dead actress Danai Gurira, according to reports. | Eclipsed is a hard-hitting drama about women captured and raped by a Liberian rebel officer.
The sell-out play marked the 12 Years a Slave and Star Wars star's stage debut when opening earlier this year.
Gurira, who plays Michonne in huge TV hit The Walking Dead, is the award-winning writer of four plays.
BBC Entertainment Live: News updates
Eclipsed is considered notable as a rare production written by a woman to get a spot on Broadway.
There has been only one other this current season, an adaptation of Emile Zola's horror story Therese Raquin, written by the British playwright Helen Edmundson.
Eclipsed also stands out for dealing with the difficult subject matter of rape in Africa.
The last play to cover the issue was Ruined in 2009, although it was controversially not granted a Broadway run despite its success.
Oskar Eustis, the artistic director of the off-Broadway Public Theatre, where Eclipsed is currently running, told the New York Times he hoped its main stage run would "break a barrier that will stay broken".
"It's an incredibly emotional play and by the end very deeply touching and harrowing, and yet Danai has written it so beautifully it ultimately feels life-affirming, about how women in horrible circumstances are able to find their own agency."
Zimbabwean-American Gurira's other plays are In the Continuum, The Convert and Familiar, which also deal with female identity and race.
Nyong'o, who was born in Mexico and raised in Kenya, became an overnight star with her performance in 12 Years a Slave, winning last year's best supporting actress Academy Award.
They are part of an ethnically diverse production team which African-American producer Stephen Byrd says is also rare.
"There's a market out there that has not really been addressed with plays that can draw a cross-section of people to theatre," Byrd said.
"It's going to be an interesting season, and it's very healthy for Broadway."
Eclipsed finishes at the Public Theatre on 29 November and begins previews at Broadway's John Golden Theatre on 23 February, Hollywood Reporter said.
Its official opening will be on 6 March. | You may be wondering why the Polish Baltic port city would build a theatre dedicated to England's Bard.
"The idea of having a Shakespearean theatre in Gdansk is not out of the blue, it has strong historical backing," the theatre's director, Jerzy Limon explains. The 64 year-old Shakespearean scholar came up with the project 25 years ago.
"English actors first came to Gdansk in 1601. They kept coming for over half a century and Shakespeare's plays were performed here during his lifetime."
Prof Limon sees it as a wonderful monument for cultural relations between Gdansk and London and monument to the artistic impact of English culture on the continent.
"Rock music is today's most conspicuous example of British cultural presence worldwide. But it started long ago with these companies that toured the continent and came to Gdansk almost every summer."
The touring English actors' written applications to perform in Gdansk for over 20 seasons still exist.
They came seeking patronage from aristocrats or royalty to enable them to earn enough money to survive the winters.
And they appear to have been popular.
"In one of the surviving documents the author says the English were followed by virgins who travelled from one town to another," Prof Limon says.
"Like groupies?" I ask. "Exactly," he says.
At first they performed in English. Gdansk at the time had one of the largest English-speaking communities on the continent, numbering about 1,000 English and Scots.
The port city was part of the Hanseatic League, a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns that dominated trade along the coast of northern Europe.
But the league's lingua franca was German, so by about 1610 the English actors began performing in that language using prose translations.
They performed in a wooden playhouse called the Fencing School, a galleried unroofed building which hosted fencing classes and bear baiting as well as performances of Shakespeare's plays.
The new theatre is built in the place where the Fencing School stood.
The original plan was to follow the example of the open-air Globe Theatre in London but they decided it should stay open throughout the year because of the cost.
Venetian architect Renato Rizzi won a competition to design the building, and some have likened his work to an oyster: ugly on the outside but beautiful inside.
The theatre is next to the remnants of the city's 14th Century walls and the exterior contains some of the Gothic elements that dominate the style of Gdansk's Old Town, such as buttresses.
It's built of dark Belgian brick and there are no visible windows because they are obscured by a six-metre-high perimeter wall.
The contrast with the light interior is sharp. The lobby has pale cream walls, a Bulgarian marble floor and Polish birch wood ceilings and interiors.
The auditorium is modelled on the old Fencing School, with wooden galleries on three sides and a standing area in front of a classical box stage.
A series of 56 lifts enables the area in front of the stage to be transformed into an Elizabethan-era thrust stage.
Above there is a 90-tonne retractable roof that opens in three minutes to allow for daylight performances in good weather.
Poland lost its connections with the West after World War Two when it was cut off by the Iron Curtain.
But when the Berlin Wall came down, Prof Limon created an NGO in the 1990s to promote his theatre idea.
During early fundraising attempts, potential early sponsors were more interested in the free sparkling wine on offer than giving concrete support.
Things began to change in 1993 when the Prince of Wales agreed to be patron of the project.
"In my 25 years' experience of dealing with all circles of society he is the only person so far who responded to a letter from a nobody," he said.
The local authorities gave the project a valuable piece of real estate on the outskirts of the Old Town.
Funding the construction only became possible after Poland joined the EU in 2004. Brussels' cash has paid for three-quarters of the £18m (23m euros) cost, with the remainder provided by local authorities. Building finally began in 2011 with the bulldozers performing a ballet.
Following the opening there will be a British week with performances of Hamlet by the Globe Theatre and Missing by the Gecko Theatre.
Later this month, the theatre will host the city's 18th Shakespeare Festival, which has so far included more than 200 different subtitled productions from 40-plus countries.
Shakespeare is still popular enough in Poland to be taught in schools and his plays are staged in practically all theatres across the country, with about a dozen new productions every year.
He is also one of the relatively few historical figures to have his name Polonised. In Poland he's known as Szekspir.
"Shakespeare always reminds us how much we have in common because the language he uses and the problems he describes are universal," says Prof Limon. | eng_Latn | 2,330 |
