“EDGE Artistic Director Jim Tommaney searched for five years to find an actress capable of bringing to vibrant life Flora Goforth, the central character in this remarkable play. Maria Somoza brings a mature beauty and a sizzling power to this complex role of an over-achiever who rose from ‘trailer trash’ to wealth, power and influence and now must confront her own mortality.”

ON A DARKER NOTE . . .
GABLESTAGE presents “Blackbird” by David Harrower (Winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play in London). A story about love and pedophilia and society’s reaction to the topic. From a London review by Lizzie Loveridge: “Blackbird’ is a remarkable play. . . . [T]he play builds to a provocative final few scenes. [T]he most amazing impact [is the] discussion and controversy it excites among those who have seen it. It’s a wonderfully engaging intellectual conflagration with a very slow burn.” According to Wikipedia, it is currently being performed in Sydney, Australia under the direction of Academy Award-winning actress Cate Blanchett. Opening March 6th (runs through the 30th) adjacent to the Biltmore Hotel, 1220 Anastasia Avenue, Coral Gables. Call 305-446-1116 for tickets or more information.
