To mark its 50th season at the Mark Taper Forum, Center Theatre Group and its artistic director Michael Ritchie announced on Tuesday a 2017-18 season that includes one Pulitzer-winning drama, two world premieres by noted playwrights and the timely revival of one homegrown, groundbreaking theatrical event.
“Soft Power” (April 15-May 13, 2018): Tony winner David Henry Hwang (“M. Butterfly”) riffs on a possible shift in relations between a rising China and the rest of the world in the decades to come in this world-premiere musical fable.
Added: Rajiv Joseph’s Archduke (April 18–May 30, 2017), directed by Giovanna Sardelli, also debuts. As the title suggests, the subject is the Serbian nationalism-inspired assassination of Archduke Ferdinand that sparked World War I in 1914.
