The White Snake
1363 Old Globe Way, San Diego, 92101
Cost: $29 - $82
Mary Zimmerman has a gift for turning ancient myths and legends into highly theatrical, and moving, productions. Anyone expecting a solemn presentation of the famous Chinese legend about star-crossed lovers is in for a surprise. The White Snake is as impish as it is inspirational. And as spectacular, when blue streamers fall like rain, red crabs waddle across the skrim, or air battles water. The principals have performed the piece at several venues, and it shows. Amy Kim Waschke's excellent White Snake, Tanya Thai McBride's elastic Greenie, Matt DeCaro's appropriately villanous Fa Hai, and John Norman Schneider's Xu Xian shift from dream- to reality-mode at the drop of a parasol. Critic's Pick.
