When Pierre, a French-Congolese pupil, signs up for English lessons with Celia, a beautiful young white teacher, they both get more than they bargained for. Set in contemporary Paris, this gripping new play explores the ways in which class, race, and language continue to divide us.

After the Revolution (tickets | map)
April 5 – May 13, 2012

By Amy Herzog
Directed by Kimberly Senior

The young, brilliant Emma Joseph proudly carries the torch of her family’s Marxist tradition by devoting her life to the memory of her famously blacklisted grandfather. When history reveals a shocking truth about the man himself, the entire family is forced to confront questions of honesty and an allegiance they thought had been long resolved. AFTER THE REVOLUTION is a bold and hilariously moving portrait of a jewish American family, forced to reconcile a thorny and delicate legacy.

Ok, even though this is a commercial it kind of represents much of what I like about Japan. Not just the beautiful mountains covered in pine and mist, but the producing of something creative, employing a craft like woodwork, a precise attention to detail, patience and diligence in making each piece sound the correct tone. It speaks to me of traditional Japanese attributes still being utilized in a modern world. How the heck did I get all that from a commercial.
