“Seminar”…
…is a Broadway play by Theresa Rebeck. It played, on Broadway, at the Golden Theater. Alan Rickman originated the lead character, Leonard. The production premiered on November 20, 2011.
“This mélange of feelings, magnificently orchestrated by Mr. Rickman, is arrived…I felt an authentic rush of pleasure and the exhilaration of being reminded that in theater, art comes less from landing lines than [from] finding what lies between them." Ben Brantley of “The New York Times”
“But Rickman—whose carnal magnetism and aura of danger remain as potent as they were when he made his Broadway debut in Les Liaisons Dangereuses, nearly 25 years ago—is the most compelling reason to see Seminar. His performance offers a master class in the kind of classically trained acting and old-fashioned charisma that never loses its luster.” Adam Green, of “Vogue“
“Rickman is something of a standout because of his delightfully dry oiliness, and his arch delivery makes each of Leonard’s barbs, whether they last a single sentence or approach Proustian lengths, a lacerating pleasure. But this is not a star vehicle, it’s an ensemble piece, and Rickman’s costars are all impressive.” Theatre Review by Matthew Murray,
