THE RAVEN:
Adapted, composed, and directed by the legendary Ellen Stewart, THE RAVEN tells the story of King Milo who shoots a raven during a hunting expedition, then is placed under a horrific curse by the bird’s owner. To be delivered from that curse he must find a woman who possesses special qualities.
This production is suitable for families and children of all ages.

Ellen Stewart’s reinterpretation of Gozzi’s THE RAVEN is a tribute to the pioneering spirit of such local Asian-American troupes as Pan Asian Repertory and H.T. Chen & Dancers which had their beginnings in Chinatown La MaMa during the 1970s when artistic opportunities for Asian-Americans in New York City were very limited.
