Akhnaten on PBS

My fellow Americans: Phelim McDermott’s production of Akhnaten is scheduled for broadcast tomorrow, April 5, 2020 on the Great Performances GP at the Met series on PBS. All the minimalism, juggling, and wacky-but-regal costumes in your living room with none of the nudity (is this a pro or a con? I leave it up to you) or rude Met bartenders (definitely a pro). Tune in.

“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to The Masterson Inheritance — an improvised historical saga of a family at war with itself. Over the next half-hour you will hear a team of performers attempt to spontaneously dramatise the first chapter from the chronicles of the Masterson family, based entirely on the suggestions of our studio audience. No script, no rehearsals, just an audience and a couple of microphones.”
