Morning Docket: 06.25.08
*While Shakespeare in the Park's critically-maligned HAMLET plays out its final week at the Delacorte Theatre, Sam Shepard's new drama KICKING A DEAD HORSE starring Stephen Rea begins previews tonight at the Public Theater.
*The Roundabout Theatre Company's website suggests that the final slot for Roundabout's 2008-09 Broadway season will probably be filled by a new production of Ibsen's HEDDA GABLER. That's weird, seeing as it was revived only six years ago on Broadway with Kate Burton. Why not do an Ibsen play that needs a new life, like say THE WILD DUCK or AN ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE?
*The 70s drama FOR COLORED GIRLS WHO HAVE CONSIDERED SUICIDE WHEN THE RAINBOW IS ENUF will be revived on Broadway starting in August at Circle in the Square, recently home to GLORY DAYS. Grammy winner Indie.arie (who?) will star and Whoopi Goldberg will produce it.
