10 January 2007 (Jewswire.com) - Israel Horovitz’s New York Playwrights Lab presents its inaugural production, the New York premiere of Horovitz’s The Secret of Mme. Bonnard’s Bath. The production will begin performances on Saturday, February 3, opening on Thursday, February 8 running through February 24 at Theatre Row’s Kirk Theatre (410 West 42 Street).
Is it the search for an absolute brush stroke of vibrant color that led Pierre Bonnard, one of the most enigmatic masters of the 20th century, to suddenly revise his painting ... even though it was hanging on the wall of a small Paris museum? Or was it the artist's need to revisit a long-hidden and tragic love? Two young art students discover the changed painting and uncover The Secret of Mme Bonnard’s Bath... Israel Horovitz's masterful new play promises mystery, romance, intellect and humor.
The cast includes JOHN SHEA (TV’s “Louis & Clark”, “Mutant X”, Stage: Yentil, How I Learned to Drive, Down the Garden Path, The Director), MICHAEL BAKKENSEN (Bway: Festen; The Man Who Came To Dinner, Off-Bway: The Paris Letter) and STEPHANIE JANSSEN (Off-Bway: Cupid and Psyche, Machiavelli)
“Mysteries of love and art abound in ‘The Secret of Mme. Bonnard’s Bath’… A fascinating journey... “ -Boston Globe “An intriguing picture of the artistic mind. Horovitz has created something magical in ‘The Secret of Mme. Bonnard’s Bath’.” - Boston Herald.
