Enter Stage Right

It's hard to imagine how you'd turn Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility into a musical, but a couple of artists have done it, and the result will be read at the Denver Center's New Play Summit, today through Sunday, along with two other new plays. The musical will be directed by Marcia Milgrom Dodge, who's responsible for the much-lauded Broadway revival of Ragtime. Another promising offering is Michael Mitnick's multimedia comedy Ed, Downloaded, in which the dying protagonist can achieve immortality by having his brain -- that is, his memories -- downloaded. Britisher Sam Buntrock arrives to work on this one; he's the director whose Sunday in the Park With George revival received raves from the New York Times. "A rhapsody of images," said Ben Brantley.
