Cold Crispin Larangeira

Having long been interested in Russian Literature, there came a time where I found myself deep within Alexander Solzhenitsyn's THE GULAG ARCHIPELAGO. So deep that the only way out was to draw my own path, the play WHISPERS, now in a new draft, COLD. It tells of a man and woman, he a violinist, she a poet, once in the same Stalinist horror camp, who lose all they love, she for truth, he to survive. In what becomes a seminal moment of their lives, they meet years later, now out of the camp, but still in exile. The New York Times"Love asserts itself in this bleak landscape." "Even should he dislike her art, he will have shared her dreams. For the poet, isolated so long from an audience of any kind, the anticipation is nearly overwhelming." The Jewish Post"The best unpublished play illuminating an aspect of Jewish life has been awarded to Crispin Larangeira for his play..."
