BOLERO
(Variations On A Theme of Maurice Ravel)
by Arthur Meiselman
(six men or six women
or some of each)
The driving, climactic progression of Ravelīs Bolero is
the theme for a string of dramatic variations -- eight short
plays, designed for consecutive performance in one
evening. But this is not a musical. It is a dark comedy of
love, sex, betrayal and bent gender-bending. Itīs also not
a "La Ronde"! Because... the dialogue repeats in each
play, though the characters and plots are different.
Got it? Same words, different plots, building on each
other until it ends in rolling thunder!
8 one act plays::
She, Her Husband, His Wife, and Her Lover
I Come, I See, I Conquer, uh...
3 Years, 12 Days In A Dark, Warm Place
He to She to Him... Bingo!
The Closet Has Two Back Doors
My Lover Is A Doo-dad
Sweet French and Spanish Kisses
In The End There Is A Soft Beginning
