Inspiration for the Play

 

The center third of "Education" (1890), a stained glass window by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany Studios, located in Linsly-Chittenden Hall at Yale University. It depicts Science (personified by Devotion, Labor, Truth, Research and Intuition) and Religion (personified by Purity, Faith, Hope, Reverence and Inspiration) in harmony, presided over by the central personification of "Light·Love·Life".

 

The two faces of Katherine Heigle were inspiration for the two children of Oedipus, Antigone and Ismene

 

Zoe and I looked at a long blond wig like this for about forty-five minutes one day at Rickies on 6th Ave.  I had been wanting to get a thick bronze coat on her as well.  That night I found this image and realized that the costume was Lady Gaga, some animal child of the 1970s, it was to be my new Ismene, until the wig seemed to suffocate the natural grace of Zoe.  In rehearsal she started to look as though she was being strangled, Ismene then turned into an elegant yet touchable lady.

 

This is a still from a play by Wajdi Mouawad who uses projection to create beautiful stage images.
