Washington Post - Somewhat Recommended Vegas casino io. '..The battle is a highlight of Constellation Theatre Company's warm, often tangy, occasionally uneven 'The White Snake' at Source, directed by Allison Arkell Stockman from Mary Zimmerman's script. In the scene, fighting staffs jab, kicks lunge and fabrics billow as the ensemble throws itself into martial-arts-flavored choreography by Jennifer J. Hopkins. Glittery blue garb for the aquatic creatures adds gleam to Frank Labovitz's ancient China-inspired costumes, and colorful lighting by Max Doolittle imparts a dreamlike vibe.' MetroWeekly - Recommended '..Constellation Theatre conjures a fitting tale for ushering in springtime with Allison Arkell Stockman's elegant and playful production of the classic Chinese fable The White Snake. Written by Mary Zimmerman and based on ancient folklore, The White Snake evokes history, romance, and fantasy in a story that pits the arrogance of man against the forces of nature. The learned White Snake (Eunice Bae), a serpent who has studied the ways of the universe for more than a thousand years, takes human form in order to seek further enlightenment. As wise as she is old, she might someday transcend her earthly form, and join the immortals, if she can repay a kindness to a humble man, Xu Xian (Jacob Yeh), who perhaps once saved her life.' BroadwayWorld - Recommended '..Constellation Theatre is closing its season of love stories with a big one from the East. Thankfully 'The White Snake' is not about the 80s English metal band. Instead, it's an ancient, oft-told Chinese folk tale, which was breezily interpreted by Mary Zimmerman originally for the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in 2014. It's brought to lyrical life in a production directed by Allison Arkell Stockman that combines puppetry, movement and a beguiling, underlying musical performance.' DC Metro Theater Arts - Recommended '..Ultimately, Nakamura's Greenie is the stage presence that cuts through the lulling sounds of Teasley and Tian's Chinese musical fusions, the wisened omniscience of the play's sober narrators, and the dreamy-eyed hopelessness of its two lovers. A fast-acting realist armed with wit and dedication to her mistress, Nakamura's Greenie is loud, fiery, and lovable, effectively shifting the play away from full-throttle romance, and into the friendship between the two snakes - indubitably the most entertaining thread of director Allison Stockman's production.' MD Theatre Guide - Highly Recommended '.. Quote about gambling. This is a magical story brought to glorious life on Constellation's stage. It has power and charm and sorrow and so much glorious love that it spills from the characters and warms the entire theatre.' DCTheatreScene - Recommended '..The work proves to be a fine testament to female friendship, with the two spirit friends adventuring together, joking with each other (Nakamura in particular gets the chance to show off her comic timing), and doing the heavy lifting required to save Xu Xian each time he finds himself in danger. The pharmacist-turned-business-owner love interest is a rather bumbling figure, but Yeh awards him a sweet naivety; his character's persistent Doubt takes on ominous physical form, courtesy of Linda Bard. As Hai, Sellers is a looming, threatening presence that keeps the audience uneasy as he meddles in the snakes' deceptive, if ultimately harmless, machinations.' |

Quote of the Day: from the Chinese fable, The White Snake, on stage now at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis.
'Seeing is believing,' (says Green Snake) There's another saying, says White Snake, 'Believing is Seeing.'
Many years ago, in the land of China, White Snake and her friend Green Snake went on the transformation journey to find out what it was like to live like a human. They discovered love and shared their medicine. Green Snake, aka Greenie, stayed close by the side of her friend White Snake, aka Bai Suzhen, who married a mortal man. Just as life was becoming beautiful, with a baby on the way, Fa Hai, the evil religious man, tried to break them apart by exposing the truth and turning Bai Suzhen back into The White Snake. This nearly kills her husband Xu Xian, but with the help of forest creatures and special medicine, all is not lost. Still, the path is never straight, and none of us are always what we at first appear to be. The storytelling, costuming, and staging of The White Snake are so beautiful, like unfolding layers of fine, silk fabric, or a Chinese fan.

I feel like I only saw the first layer of this wonderful story, and maybe got a few glimpses of what lies underneath. I wish I could see it again, like a child who loves to hear the same book every night. This one is a pop-up book with surprises, hidden pictures, and sensory details. This story was surely passed down through oral tradition, with variations, and different emphasis and meaning with each telling. If I were a child listening to it, I would say, 'Tell it again, Grandma. I want to hear the part about the snakes. I like Greenie and her sassy spirit, and the way you describe the crossing of the river and the fight scene. And the baby, I always get worried about what will happen with that baby.'
A young girl was sitting behind us and she seemed very engaged in the story. I heard her whisper, 'I like Greenie.' I did, too! In fact, I wouldn't hesitate bringing children who are upper elementary and older to this performance. It is a beautiful story and a visual feast.
The White Snake is playing at The Guthrie Theater, September 9 – October 19, 2014. Go to their website for tickets and showtimes and to see more production photos and a video clip.
