Tatyana Yurkina поделилась новостью - Гейл в тизере Marielle Heller (writer/director) / The Diary of a Teenage Girl

The Diary of a Teenage Girl - Teaser from Marielle Heller on Vimeo.

Minnie and her sister, Gretel (unseen onstage), are raised by a single mother, Charlotte (Mariann Mayberry), whose feckless boyfriend, Monroe (a shaggy Michael Laurence), in his 30s, has seduced a Minnie roaring with hormones and kicked from one school to another. A seemingly stable influence in her life is her officious ex-stepfather, Pascal (Jon Krupp), who sends letters professing paternal concern but suggesting dubious motives. As Minnie’s affair implodes, she plummets into the maelstrom of San Francisco’s rough-trade street life. Needless to say, the play is not for children. In streamlining the story, Ms. Heller centers on the toxic bond between Minnie and Monroe, and the production best succeeds as a lacerating indictment of predatory male self-indulgence, though Monroe at times seems more hapless than egotistical. It also sheds more light on the flitting, hard-partying Charlotte, for whom Ms. Mayberry manages to invite sympathy. Minnie’s friend Kimmie (Nell Mooney), a composite of two characters, is more sounding board than solid person. Ms. Heller long campaigned to secure the rights to the book, and, as directed by Sarah Cameron Sunde and Rachel Eckerling, she commands her part, conveying the exhilaration and despair of a teenager contending with a surging libido. Steadily, incrementally, she captures the fatherless Minnie’s passage from infatuation with Monroe to self-awareness.
