| Marc Miller takes a look at Magnificent Bird and Book of Travelers at Playwrights Horizons: Your first thought on entering the Peter Jay Sharp Theater at Playwrights Horizons is, hey, this doesn't look like the set for a song cycle. That's what Magnificent Bird and Book of Travelers, Gabriel Kahane's alternating evenings of song and story, are being promoted as. But the set design–sorry, "scenography," to use the term proffered by scenographers AMP Scenography and Oscar Escobedo–is unusually elaborate. A Yamaha grand center stage with the top missing, another piano stage left, and a very lived-in-looking space surrounding them, including desk and chair, easy chair, shaded windows, bookcases, stacks of books on the floor, guitars and index cards on the wall, lots of lamps, and more. It's supposed to represent Kahane's studio in his Portland, Oregon, home, and it gets extra points for detail. Plus, it gets reconfigured and altered from night to night. |
