On The Road!
Virginia Glasgow Koste
On The Road! To Oz
by L Frank Baum, V. Glasgow Koste
Synopsis
Virginia Koste's new Oz play borrows from the characters and incidents from a dozen Oz books,Shaggy Man, Queen Jinjur, Professor Wogglebug, Johnny Dooit, et al. It's a jokey, jubilant journey through the American dream of Oz.
It recreates the cheerful, vaudeville-and-magic brand of fantasy with which Frank Baum charmed America's Great Plains from the Mississippi River to the Rockies.
On the Road!
takes place in the mind of a playwright.
Dorothy and the other actors inhabit his/her mind.
The characters they play come from Oz.
The conflict is the playwright's struggle to let the story happen,to control or release the creative passion.
It's the "child on a magical journey",a reminder that life is a journey, not a destination.
Open stage.
