Conquest of the South Pole
By Manfred Karge
Directed by Steve Rotolo
Molasses Tank Productions returns to the CWT with
Conquest of the South Pole, a funny, moving play about the soul-eroding problem
of long-term unemployment, in which four men stave off the despair of joblessness by re-enacting Amundsen's
expedition to the South Pole.
The critics LOVE Molasses Tank!!
An Evening of Havel:
"Steve Rotolo directs with intelligent efficiency.
Havel's scripts get an aesthetic springboard from which to leap forth."
- The Boston Globe
Acts of Futility:
"(Acts of Futility)
marshals a grim visual austerity to underline the crystalline intellectualism of Beckett's instant dramas. A lot of that
credit goes to sculptor Pat Keck, who contributed to the staging, and also to the actors who perfect arch, passionless
deliveries that bear (but don't distract from) the subtlety and meaning behind the ideas. The staging and acting immediately
create an anxiousness that perfectly suits the evening."
- The Weekly Dig
"The sextet captures Pozzo's observation in
Waiting for Godot that 'they give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams
an instant, then it's night once more'... Rotolo and Keck home in on the morbid whimsy of Beckett's conception."
- The Boston Phoenix
Almost Asleep:
"The chairs at the Charlestown Working Theater should have
seat belts so everyone seeing Almost Asleep can buckle in... a short, intense ride
through one woman's psyche."
- The Boston Globe
"Props too to director Steve Rotolo, who has put together a
pretty excellent production. The script demands tight orchestration, and Rotolo keeps all the elements taut."
