“Dante: Inferno” a Play by Alejandro de la Costa (2008)
“MBS Productions will be presenting the world premiere of Dante: Inferno from April 10 – May 3, yet they still haven’t found the right actor to play Dante. . .
The play contains adult themes and nudity (not required for the role of Dante). The show is currently in rehearsals and auditions will be held Tuesday-Thursday, March 11-13.” –Shawn Parikh, Pegasus News, March 11, 2008
“The Inferno Project” by Lauren Reinhard and the Rapscallion Theatre Collective (2008)
“The beginnings of the story are familiar: a man disillusioned with his life enters a wood in search of something. What follows however, is all new, equal parts horror, humor and hope. Through the course of the play we follow Dante and Virgil out of the wood and through history as Dante struggles to find his voice and the story of his life in order to save it.
Following the concept of the play is its construction; Reinhard interweaves text from historical speeches and quotes from such notables as Malcolm X, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Margaret Thatcher, Sojourner Truth, and Martin Luther King, Jr. into her original script. The result is an accurate and heartbreaking look at America’s past struggles and an equally hopeful look at its future.” —Theater Online
