Is it Villa, la Mujer, or the Man in between?

Welcome to the discussion between the artists, the technical and administrative team and the friends of Miracle Theatre Group's upcoming production of ENTRE VILLA Y UNA MUJER DESNUDA by Sabina Berman.

As our director Juan Carlos Vives will be out of town until just before first rehearsal on Monday, Dec 28th ~ this blog will serve as a great tool to share ideas, and in particular designers' drawings, over the next month and a half. Please do post your thoughts, images and questions here.

About the play itself, one dramaturgical question has been foremost in my mind. As I read the play, I find myself following Gina mostly, and her journey as she learns to stand up for what she wants from her relationship with Adrian. However, because of the title, I wonder if I am missing something. It is Adrian who is, literally, between Villa and Gina (the naked woman). Should he be our focus?

I find it fascinating that Gina is the revolutionary one in the play. The argument is really between Gina and Villa.

Your thoughts most welcome!
