The Originals Description
It was high time that
someone wrote a play about Mary Cassatt, the only American member of the
original Impressionist coterie of artists, and Le Wilhelm has met the challenge
with flying colors with Maiden’s Progeny...” - Frank Winship - UPI This intelligent and affecting
play takes the audience to Cassatt’s chateau outside Paris on a warm Spring
afternoon, to witness a spirited showdown between the passionate and quick-witted
Cassatt (Jennifer Porter) and
Wynford Johnston (Brian Chamberlain)
a good natured, if somewhat prejudiced art critic. He has barged into Cassatt’s home, hoping for an end to the
estrangement he has encountered from artists after the publication of his
latest book. What follows is a
lively debate about the necessity of critics, class and gender politics and the
role of the artist in society.
Never descending into a lecture play, Maiden’s Progeny is a shimmering, enchanting piece that explores
rich ideas and emotions and a burgeoning friendship between two
adversaries. Directed by Dana Packard, and featuring Linda Shary as Marie Ange, Cassatt’s
servant and friend, and Elisabeth
Hardcastle as Iris Wallace, who, along with her child, has become the model
for Cassatt’s latest work. “The play reaches its denouement with its
audience wanting more. No greater
compliment can be paid to a theatrical work.” - United Press International
