I go to Denmark first tonight. It’s the first play I’ve seen at The Brooklyn Center for Theater Research, although I took a writing class with Betsey Brown there this summer that I loved.
Sophia Englesberg is a star in Denmark. The play is set at a family’s beach house at blue hour, the soft light and the intimate living room set lulling the audience into a false sense of cozy security, and then claustrophobia as the family dynamics escalate and then collapse in on themselves. Denmark is funny despite its darkness, and in some senses, I find it to trigger a sentiment of nostalgia, which then I find to be strange, because it really is quite dark. I love a storyline that contrasts aesthetic beauty with psychological hell, suburban bliss, a bitter recalling of fond memories and bygone times that increasingly, you begin to feel are half fabricated tricks of the mind, fragments of the imagination.
Tonight, Saturday, September 21 from 7:30 - 9:30pm — Denmark continues The Brooklyn Center for Theater Research – “A dark yet comedic family drama by Matthew Gasda, directed by Tom Meglio.” As mentioned above, I really loved this play. Performances are listed through October 20, if you can’t make it tonight.

From 7:30 - 9:30pm at The Brooklyn Center for Theater Research — Denmark is back for a final run; a winter weekend at a family beach house slowly descends into a psychological hellscape. By Matt Gasda, starring Sophia Englesberg. The play will continue (for the last times) on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. I saw this play last month and really adored it - I’m glad it’s back and I hope everyone gets a chance to go.
