This past Wednesday, June 1st, a great friend left us. David Butler, playwright, actor, minister, and extraordinary human, passed away. To know David was to be in the company of abundance - of laughter, intellect, wit, warmth, and love. And Mad Horse had the tremendous fortune to share in that abundance over the years.
As a sequel to producing successfully Aaron Posner's Stupid F****ing Bird, South Portland's Mad Horse Theatre company has mounted Posner's take on Chekov's Uncle Vanya, Life Sucks. Filled with colorful characters and some truly witty dialogue, Posner's new play does a fine job of bringing the Russian dramatist's story to life for a contemporary audience. One does not need to know the original to enjoy Life Sucks, but if one is a Chekov fan, the humor, allusions, and twists are all the more delicious and make one realize how truly modern Checkov was.
