LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — Performances of “Fairview” and “Fuenteovejuna/The Sheep Well” will take place at SUNY Sullivan from Friday, April 26 to Saturday, May 4.
“Fairview” is a 2019 Pulitzer Prize-winning piece written by Jackie Sibblies Drury and directed by Nick López.
“Fuenteovejuna/The Sheep Well,” by Lope de Vega, is a revolutionary classical Spanish play adapted and directed by Jessica López-Barkl.
The 2023-2024 theater season explores the theme of identity, with each play delving deep into the difficult choices characters make as they begin to determine who they truly are, a SUNY Sullivan spokesperson said. “Fairview” examines families, drama, family dramas and the insidiousness of white supremacy.
It will be performed in the Seelig Theater, on Friday, April 26 at 8 p.m.; Sunday, April 28 at 2 p.m.; and on Thursday, May 2 and Saturday, May 4 at 8 p.m.
The Spanish author Lope de Vega (1562–1635) wrote “Fuenteovejuna/The Sheep Well” in 1612 after he was inspired by a historical incident: how farmers and peasants of the village of Fuente Ovejuna rose up against a military commander and his soldiers who routinely brutalized and oppressed them.
The play will be performed outdoors at the SUNY Sullivan Labyrinth on three days at 6 p.m.: Saturday, April 27; Wednesday, May 1; and Friday, May 3. On Sunday, May 5, the play will be performed at 2 p.m.
All performances will take place at the college, 112 College Rd.
Tickets cost a suggested donation of $10 to the SUNY Sullivan Theater Program/Performing Arts Club.
