From Martin McDonagh’s dark ‘Hangmen’ to jazz star Hiromi and the SF Silent Film Fest, there is a lot to see and do in the Bay Area this weekend.
Matthew Kropschot stars in San Jose Stage’s West Coast premiere of Martin McDonagh’s “Hangmen,” playing through April 28.From a Martin McDonagh dark comedy to the insanely talented Hiromi and some world class string players, not to mention San Francisco’s Silent Film Fest, there are a lot of great shows, exhibits and concerts to catch this weekend in the Bay Area. Here’s a partial roundup.
With its dark humor, suspenseful story line and probing look at such issues as justice, punishment and revenge, “Hangmen” is vintage McDonagh. Now San Jose Stage is presenting the work, directed by James Reese and starring Will Springhorn Jr. as Wade.Japan-born jazz pianist Hiromi Uehara, better known by her stage name Hiromi, is such an engaging performer – full of passion and panache – that you could almost enjoy watching her play a silent piano. Almost.
The exhibition, “A Movement in Every Direction: Legacies of the Great Migration,” features newly commissioned works by 12 artists who explore their personal relationships to this historical event through painting, sculpture, drawing, video, sound, and immersive installation.
And the 1978 movie has held up incredibly well over the years — much better than most of Romero’s other zombie epics. In all, it’s every bit as deserving of the label “classic” as its groundbreaking predecessor, “Night of the Living Dead,” which Romero unleashed on an unexpecting film world in 1968.
