While the novel is set in a fashionable New York home during the late 19th century, Sharp’s radical interpretation strips away all of the excess of the time period to deeply focus on Catherine’s journey into becoming her own person. When Morris Townsend, a mysterious suitor, makes a bid for her heart, Catherine is torn between following her instincts or heeding the warnings of her cruel father and persistent aunt. Surrounded by society and family who perceive her as plain and soft-spoken, Catherine remains steadfastly committed to her forward-thinking optimism. Washington Square centers on Catherine Sloper, a wealthy young woman raised in a house of grief by a father bitterly dead to love. “Sharp’s new adaptation of Washington Square is both exciting theater and entirely true to its source material.” – “Exquisite… Sharp has fashioned a gem of a play that may seem to some more present than past.” – Theatermania A New Adaptation from the Henry James NovelĪxis Theatre Company is proud to present a return engagement of Washington Square, a contemporary take on Henry James’ novel adapted and directed by Randy Sharp.
