On Stage: Theatre
Nureyev’s Eyes
9 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, NJ
“It’s in the eyes -- they’re the
hardest to get,” says painter Jamie Wyeth (son of Andrew) as
he struggles to commit brush
to canvas. The subject is none
other than Russian defector
and ballet star Rudolf Nureyev,
whom he has doggedly pursued
to sit for him. Rudy’s patience is
running thin as Jamie struggles

not only to begin to paint, but to
emerge from the shadow of his
famous family. A riveting fictional account of the very real interaction between two great artists.
Written by David Rush and
directed by Michael Mastro,
George Street Playhouse
presents Nureyev’s Eyes from
February 2 through February 21.
