I am writing not just as your mayor, but as a parent, because every child needs the strongest possible start in life our city can give them. That’s why I’m so proud that this school year, New York City’s firstever pre-K classes for 3-year-olds started in Brooklyn and the Bronx.

Earlier this year, we announced 3-K for All, our plan to bring high-quality, full-day, 3-K education to every 3-year-old in New York City over the next four years. We know this is one of the best investments we can make in our kids’ and in our city’s future. The fact is, the most important development of human minds occurs before the age of 5. As parents we see it, and science confirms it. 3-K programs lay a critical foundation for children to grow and learn. Kids who have access to quality early childhood education have higher reading levels, better social skills and increased academic achievement. If we reach kids during that time, they will do better and go farther throughout their educations and their lives. If we lose that opportunity, it never comes back. Bluntly, society has missed the boat on this for decades. We haven’t focused on the youngest years of education, even though that's where we know we can have the biggest impact on children. We also know how much families benefit, by saving $10,000 a year and by giving moms and dads time to advance their own educations and careers. We’ve show with Pre-K for All that in just a few years we can reach every child at the age of 4 with a high-quality, full-day education, and we have shown just how much demand there is for it. Now it is time to reach every child at the age of 3. We begin this school year in Districts 7 in the Bronx and 23 in Brooklyn (Brownsville, East New York) as we work toward making 3-K for All a reality by 2021. We believe we have a chance to reach children now and start changing their lives. It's a bold move, but a necessary one that will recast the future of this great city.

GUEST EDITORIAL Mayor de Blasio’s Other Brooklyn Transit Proposal More Leadership Needed for Utica Avenue BY RAANAN GEBERER Brooklyn PHOENIX

During the past two years, scores of articles have been written, both here and in other publications, about Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan for the BQX, a streetcar line that would connect the Brooklyn and Queens waterfront from Astoria to Sunset Park.

A subway extension along Utica Avenue was also mentioned as a possibility in the Transit Authority’s 1968 “Program for Action,” but in the end, planners felt that the increased ridership would further overwhelm the already-crowded Eastern Parkway trunk line. Instead, they proposed a westward extension of the 14th Street-Canarsie Line (L train) from its Canarsie terminal, which also never made it off the drawing board. Why hasn’t the Utica Avenue subway idea gotten the same traction as the BQX proposal? One factor may be the fact that while a subway would definitely make life easier along Utica Avenue, particularly in the southern-most areas, there are already some transportation options on the street. As the New York Times pointed out, commuters who get off the A and C lines, or the 3 and 4 lines, at Utica Avenue have an

Utica Avenue near Beverly Road in East Flatbush The plan has been endorsed by both the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and the Transport Workers Union. Borough President Eric Adams, state Assembly Speaker Felix Ortiz and other high-profile elected officials have also praised the idea, although they have also called for intensive public input. A little while before de Blasio gave his support to the BQX line, however, he proposed another transit improvement in Brooklyn: a subway line diverging from the Eastern Parkway trunk line at Utica Avenue and running down Utica to Flatlands. Utica Avenue is a major north-south thoroughfare, and de Blasio said a new line would benefit Central Brooklyn as well as East Flatbush, Flatlands and Marine Park. De Blasio called for a study in April 2015, and the MTA soon allocated $5 million to analyze the plan. As of now, the study process has apparently begun, but elected officials along the route haven’t heard anything about its completion, according to the transit blog Second Avenue Sagas. The Utica Avenue subway plan has a long history. It was part of the 1929 “Second System” subway proposal, which got sunk because of the Great Depression, and the city’s 1939 subway expansion plan, which likewise never got off the ground because of World War II.

army of dollar vans (which actually cost two dollars) waiting for them. While many are not exactly legal, these vans are extremely reliable. Perhaps more to the point, the city itself has introduced Select Bus Service, or express bus service that proceeds on its own right of way, on Utica Avenue. The B46 bus, which goes from Bushwick to Mill Basin, has “more daily riders than the entire Baltimore subway system,” according to the city. That’s not to say that trains wouldn’t be faster or that local residents, especially at the southern end of Utica Avenue, wouldn’t welcome subway service. “TransitUser,”a New Yorker who posted on Second Avenue Sagas, reminds us that “Yes, Select Bus Service might be helping, but you can run only so many buses and no more.” Still, for the time being, the city seems to be emphasizing Select Bus Service for the area. Another reason may have to do with the neighborhoods a Utica Avenue subway would serve. In the case of the BQX, numerous real estate, political and developmental entities have given their support to the streetcar proposal. Among them are Two Trees, Downtown Brooklyn Partnership, Regional Plan Association, Brooklyn Chamber

of Commerce and more. Condos and rentals have been springing up along the Greenpoint waterfront, several important developments are in the pipeline in Red Hook and what state Comptroller Thomas Napoli calls an “economic revival” is under way in commercial-industrial Sunset Park. However, the neighborhoods along Utica Avenue aren’t hot development areas. In Crown Heights, Utica Avenue is characterized by older apartment buildings and ground-floor retail. To the south, it has one- and two-family houses, warehouses, garages and some stores. There may not be enough density to produce a big demand for a Utica Avenue subway. When the original subways were built between 1900 and 1940, they often traversed areas that were still semi-rural, with the expectation that these neighborhoods would rapidly become built up once the subway arrived.

For example, this happened in Bensonhurst, which changed after the arrival of the subway in the early 20th century from an area dominated by small farms to one dominated by single-family, twofamily and apartment houses. But in today’s world, where subway construction is much more expensive and bureaucratic regulations are 100 times more complex, planners may not be that willing to take chances. The most recent new subway line, the Second Avenue Subway, was built to serve an Upper East Side neighborhood that is already heavily populated, so it already had a large existing clientele. Getting back to Utica Avenue, Second Avenue Sagas has called the idea for a subway under that street “a half-baked idea with no champion.” I would agree with only half of that statement. I think it’s a good idea, but there is still no champion. De Blasio, in the words of an old expression that has fallen into disuse, ran the proposal up on the flagpole to see who saluted it, but that’s as far as he went. Hopefully, someone else will take up the banner of the long-delayed Utica Avenue line.

New Citizens Naturalized At Special Citizenship Day Ceremony Continued from page 1 Chief Judge Dora Irizarry welcomed the group and rows of their family members to the Hon. Jack Weinstein Ceremonial Courtroom in a special Constitution, or Citizenship Day naturalization ceremony on Sept. 18. “The men and women who will become citizens today and the thousands who are naturalized every year have given up everything, their countries, families and homes.” Irizarry said to the crowd. “It was hard work, hope and relentless faith in this American dream of immigrants that built this country and made it great.” While Brooklyn’s Eastern District of New York courthouse welcomes 50,000 to 60,000 immigrants a year on 310 days, the ceremony celebrated the birth of the United States, a country built on immigrants. The holiday, actually celebrated on Sept. 17, commemorates the day the Constitution was signed, signifying the birth of the nation in 1787. In 2017 Brooklyn, it was celebrated by welcoming more cultures into the country. The candidates all held their right hands up as Magistrate Judge Sanket Bulsara recited the oath of allegiance with them. The new citizens were also addressed by a video presentation by Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. “It is my pleasure and delight to welcome each of you as a citizen of the United States of America,” Sotomayor said oin the video. “At least once a year, you should take a day to remember how hard you have worked to earn your citizenship and to provide your family with the hopes and dreams that this nation offers you.” Given the current climate of the immigrant situation in the country, with ripples of fear caused by the acts of a new presidential administration, Magistrate Judge Vera Scanlon’s choice of keynote speaker Paul Moses sought to provide the room with positivity. Moses, a recently retired professor of journalism from Brooklyn College and a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist himself, spoke to the citizens about how the stories in his book “An Unlikely Union: The Love-Hate Story of New York’s Irish and Italians” have taught him about the immigrant story. The book tells the tale of animosity between Irish and Italian immigrants in the 19th and early 20th centuries until their history turned into one of romance with differences aside. “We really all have an influence in the direction American society goes,” Moses said. “Certainly by being active and informed citizens, but also just from our everyday interactions we can be the ones who help erase the barriers between the people.” When it came time to put it on paper, the candidates smiled as they returned to their seats after Irizarry presented them with their certificates of citizenship and Moses handed out pocket-sized copies of the Constitution. In the same spot where DACA immigrants fought for their rights days before, the new wave of citizens posed for photos holding their new certificates, surrounded by family members, welcoming them to the United States of America.

How do you survive when your beloved husband is stricken with Alzheimer's disease at age 68 — and then he decides he loves another woman? That's Diane Tate's devastating predicament in Marita Golden's novel “The Wide Circumference of Love.” Diane must grapple with the question, “Who am I now that you don't remember me?” Golden said on Sept. 17 at a Brooklyn Book Festival panel called “All About Me (and Sometimes You).” Another panelist, Nicole Dennis-Benn, wrote a moving novel about working-class women in Jamaica — where she was born and raised — called “Here Comes the Sun.” One of this novel's main characters, Margot, sets up a network of sex workers at the resort hotel where she's employed. And she has sex with male hotel guests for money although she has passionate longings for a woman who has come back home after living in London for many years. “I can't judge Margot,” Dennis-Benn said during the panel. “Margot doesn't know what love looks like.” The third author on the panel was Rumaan Alam, whose novel, “Rich and Pretty,” is about the twists and turns in two women's friendship.

Colson Whitehead. Joyce Carol Oates. Jonathan Safran Foer. More than 300 authors wowed literature lovers at the Brooklyn Book Festival, an annual literary blow-out that took place on Saturday, Sept. 16 and Sunday, Sept. 17. This is the largest free literary event held in New York City — and it drew a record crowd. An estimated 45,000 bibliophiles descended on Brooklyn Borough Hall, Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights to hear their favorite writers discuss their work and give readings. There were 14 stages in all for grown-ups’ day, which was Sept. 17. Colson Whitehead, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of the novel “The Underground Railroad,” was given the festival’s annual Best of Brooklyn Award, which is nicknamed the BoBi. The Brooklyn Book Festival’s Children’s Day took place on Sept. 16 at MetroTech Commons.

‘It Really Feels Like I’m Home’ BoBi honoree Whitehead, a Manhattan native, joined Brooklynite Lynn Nottage for a talk-de-force on Sept. 17. The two Pulitzer Prize winners spoke about their careers with moderator Johnny Temple, publisher and editor-in-chief of Akashic Books, as well as what it means to be a New Yorker and American alike. Festivalgoers packed into St. Ann & the Holy Trinity on Montague Street, the same church where Nottage’s great-grandparents were mar-ried in 1911, to hear the talk. “When I come here, it really feels like I’m home,” Nottage said of the worship house. Whitehead, who has written for The Village Voice and The New York Times and who won the National Book Award for Fiction for his novel “The Underground Railroad,” has been a supporter of the Brooklyn Book Festival since it began 12 years ago, Temple told the crowd. Nottage, whose plays, including “Sweat” and “Ruined,” have graced off-Broadway stages, has had her work described as centering around “morally ambiguous heroes or heroines, people who are fractured within their own bodies, who have to make very difficult choices in order to survive,” the festival’s website reports. Both Whitehead and Nottage discussed at length the power struggles and racial oppression in America throughout history and currently and how these issues have influenced their work. Nottage spoke about how it was important to “sustain the complexity” of black characters in her writing as a reflection of real life, and Whitehead discussed the need for all people to transcend cultural limits in order to learn about each other.

As African-American writers, Whitehead and Nottage’s works often examine the climate of racial politics in the United States and what it means to be black in different areas of the world. Each spoke about tackling stereotypes and also perpetuating them in order to prove points through their writing. One audience member asked whether they found it hard to write from perspectives that were not inherently their own. “It’s your job [as writers] to step out of your race, class, gender,” Whitehead said. While the current political climate in America may be uncomfortable, both writers took the time to discuss some of the movements happening across the country. “Removing monuments will end the conversation that needs to be had,” Nottage said about recent calls to remove Confederate statues from

public places. Instead, she proposed that sheaths be put over the monuments, so that the issues surrounding them continue to be discussed instead of detached entirely. “We need to teach the Civil War correctly,” Whitehead added, saying that the conversation Nottage was referring to starts in schools. At one point, Temple asked both writers to read from one of their works. Nottage chose “Ruined,” a play about women struggling in the war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo. The audience audibly gasped when she read a monologue detailing rape, family neglect and child murder. Whitehead read from “The Underground Railroad,” an alternate history novel that sets the Underground Railroad as an actual subway train and follows slaves’ journeys through it. Many fans in the room posed questions to Whitehead about his award-winning novel. And both he and Nottage spoke about what music they listen to when they write, and how it relates to their characters’ development. After the talk, people filed into a small room and immediately formed lines to have their books signed by the writers. Some scrambled to buy books at the last minute, but most brought their own from home. Continued on page 3

Her S tep mother Is a S ex D oll Hazel' s stepmother is a sex doll. And that' s not the worst of it. Hazel' s husband, the rich and powerful founder of G ogol Industries, has put a chip in her brain and can track her like a lost cellphone. Modern love can get weird sometimes. Hazel is the protagonist in Alissa Nutting' s hilarious and poignant novel “Made for Love.” Nutting is “really suspicious of technology” and the way it can spy on people, she said during a Sept. 17 author panel. “At gas stations, I check for toilet cams,” she said. Some tech stuff does come in handy in romantic relations, though, she said. Like cellphone texting. “I love fighting in texts,” she said. “I prefer it to fighting in person.”

‘G ood P aren ts A re B orin g’ Artists are always getting a bad rap. They' re difficult to live with, seemingly impossible to understand and often obsessed to a fault with their own work. But boy, do they make for good literature. During a Sept. 17 author panel, three fiction writers discussed the reality behind their novels and the types of characters that create the most interesting plots. “Woman No. 17” by Edan Lepucki, Alex G ilvarry’s “Eastman Was Here” and “Harmless Like You” by Rowan Hisayo Buchanan all deal with problematic parents, a point that naturally led to the ultimate question: Is it possible to be a good parent and a good artist? The protagonist of G ilvarry’s “Eastman Was Here” ( who is based on literary giant Norman Mailer) is obsessed with being history’s greatest American writer. He also happens to be a father — one who doesn’t pay much attention to his many children.

“We want to read about bad parents,” G ilvarry said. “G ood parents are boring.” Of all three panelists, Lepucki was the only one with children of her own. Unlike the main character of her latest novel, she uses the inspiration that comes from pivotal moments such as watching her children learn how to speak and puts it into her work, she said. But bad parenting, hidden motives and emotional roller coasters are perhaps not the most realistic elements to be found within a plot. G ilvarry, Buchanan and Lepucki instead all agreed on the two most lifelike things a character can do: Eat and have sex.

‘A merica Was Never A merica to M e’ How blue can you get? David Mills, actor, writer and Langston Hughes disciple, delved deep into the art of the blues during the Langston Hughes Performance and Blues Poetry Workshop on Sept. 17. Taking out a handkerchief and hoisting his

leg up on a nearby chair, Mills dusted off his shoe and held closed the lapels of his blazer. “America was never America to me,” he recited, assuming the persona of the social and racial outsider of Hughes’ 1935 poem “Let America Be America Again.” His performance couldn' t have been more timely. Using Hughes’ work as a lens, Mills discussed the foundational form and rhythm of blues poetry as a whole. “Repeat and rhyme seems simple, but the spirit of the blues is what’s more complex,” he said. As he passed out copies of Hughes’ “Midwinter Blues,” Mills made clear that the poet never intended to set the rhythmic and repetitive lines to song. Based on the basic 12-bar blues, Hughes’ lyrical form served as the missing instrumentation, bridging the gap between poetry and music. The blues are not as simple as Continued on page 4

Blues writers often use humor in their work as a way of dealing with pain. And there indeed were bursts of laughter when it came time for participants to write and share their own blues poetry. One attendee “ate the blues for breakfast” while his cornflakes sat soggy in his bowl. Another, stressed out about work the next day, titled her few stanzas “Monday Blues.”

‘Thin gs A ren ' t Ju st a D yad’ Sooo many love stories are about a woman being saved by a man or a woman saving a man. Neither of these story lines appeals to novelist Cara Hoffman. “I' m more interested in writing against the idea of heteronormativity,” Hoffman said at a Sept. 17 author panel. Her recently published novel, “Running,” is about love shared by two gay British men and a young American woman who are down and out in 1980s Athens. “They have their own ethic and deeply held love for one another — for three people,” Hoffman said. For many people, “things aren' t just a dyad,” she said.

That' s Diane Tate' s devastating predicament in Marita G olden' s novel “The Wide Circumference of Love.” Diane must grapple with the question, “Who am I now that you don' t remember me? ” G olden said during a Sept. 17 author panel. Another author on that panel, Nicole Dennis-Benn, wrote a moving novel about working-class women in Jamaica — where she was born and raised — called “Here Comes the Sun.” One of this novel' s main characters, Margot, sets up a network of sex workers at the resort hotel where she' s employed. And she has sex with male hotel guests for money, although she has passionate longings for a woman who has come back home after living in London for many years. “I can' t judge Margot,” Dennis-Benn said during the panel. “Margot doesn' t know what love looks like.”

Novelist Jonathan Safran gether. Foer had some sharp words for Trump-bashers. “I feel like Trump has become a kind of convenient way not to think about what one does in one' s home, because we have this perfect symbol of everything that' s wrong in the world embodied in one individual. “Obviously that' s not the case. But it has begun to feel like that' s the case,” Foer said during a Sept. 17 author panel. “And our relationship to news has become indulging these big negative feelings that are not generative. “And it' s fun to read about his last faux pas. And it' s fun to read essays that take him down. And it' s fun to watch [MSNBC host] Rachel Maddow … It' s not a good kind of fun, actually. It' s a destructive kind of fun,” said Foer, whose most recently published novel is called “Here I Am.” The author said this fun is had at the expense of people who voted for Trump in the November 2016 presidential election “not because they' re racist, and not because they' re stupid, but because they are extraordinarily disappointed with their lot in life.” “And he somehow was able to embody their disappointment,” Foer said.

Considered by many critics to be among the best versions of “The Rite” ever made, after Nijinsky’s original dance work, Bausch’s version takes place on a stage covered in sodden dirt and maintains the primal and sexually charged nature of the original 1913 work.

The Institute for Community Living will construct a new building on the grounds of the landmarked Dean Sage Residence in Crown Heights.

The Dean Sage Residence Is an 1870s Treasure

Nonprofit Signs Accord About Construction Procedures to Protect Landmarked Crown Heights House By Lore Croghan INBrooklyn

Proceed With Caution. A nonprofit that owns an important Crown Heights North Historic District house has signed an agreement with government agencies about how to construct a new building without harming the original 19th-century landmark. The new building will wrap around the Dean Sage Residence and occupy part of a garden on the side of the house.

The historic house at 839 St. Marks Ave., which was designed by architect Russell Sturgis and constructed in 1870, belongs to the Institute for Community Living (ICL). Back when the house belonged to its original owner, Dean Sage, famous author Mark Twain was a house guest. In recent decades, ICL used the High-Victorian Gothic mansion and an addition on the back of it as a 48-bed residence for mentally ill single adults. The institute plans to demolish the back addition to make way for a new building. Part of the new structure will be 4½ stories tall and part of it will be six stories tall. When the development is completed, there will be approximately 70 units of supportive and affordable housing. Readers with good memories will recall that ICL presented its expansion plan for 839 St. Marks Ave. to the city Landmarks Preservation Commission at a March 2016 public hearing.

HPD Loan Is Contingent on Careful Construction ICL wants a federally funded loan for the development project from the city Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Before providing funding, the housing agency is required by law to ascertain whether construction could potentially harm the landmarked house. As part of that process, the State Historic Preservation Office

(SHPO) decided the planned construction could have an “adverse impact” on the Dean Sage Residence. In July, ICL and the two government agencies signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) that spells out the steps the institute is required to take to protect the historic house during construction. It must comply with the agreement in order to receive the loan it is seeking from HPD. We obtained a copy of the memorandum of agreement from SHPO’s press office. The document spells out several things the Institute for Community Living must do at 839 St. Marks Ave.: • Preserve “character-defining features” in the ground-floor common areas of the 1870s house such as paneling, parquet flooring and molded trim on the ceiling. • Consult with SHPO about the correct methods for repairing the exterior of the 1870s house, which might include the reconstruction of architectural features that have been removed. According to the memorandum of agreement, ICL plans to rebuild the historic house’s front porch, which was removed sometime between 1929 and 1940. • Salvage ornamental items in the garden such as a sundial and “amphitheater masonry” and reuse them in garden areas that remain after the new building is constructed. • With the help of an engineer with expertise in dealing with historic buildings, create a “construction protection plan” that will prevent harm to the 1870s house and other historic buildings within a 90-foot radius of the project site.

Three Cheers for the WeedWackers When we stopped by 839 St. Marks Ave. several days ago, the historic house looked like it was lost in the wilderness. Vines choked the trees at the front entrance. A garden on the side of the house was wildly overgrown. Weeds as tall as trees sprouted out of the surrounding sidewalk. We emailed the Institute for Community Living to ask for development info — and inquire why the grounds weren’t being maintained. The next day, when we made another visit to the Dean Sage Residence, a work crew from the Institute for Community Living was out on the sidewalk, chopping weeds out of the tree pits. The following day, the workers returned to continue their landscaping clean-up. 8INB • INBROOKLYN — A Special Section of Brooklyn Daily Eagle/Brooklyn Eagle/Heights Press/Brooklyn Record/Bay Ridge Eagle/Greenpoint Gazette • Week of September 21-27, 2017

Leaf & Stem Is the One-Stop Shop for Health-Conscious Products in Brooklyn

Handmade Remedies for Face, Body, Peace of Mind By John Alexander INBrooklyn

There’s a genuinely magical place located in the heart of DUMBO at 100 Water St. Leaf & Stem has everything customers need for relaxation, beauty and skin care and healing therapies. The shop contains rooms full of oils and soaps and assorted items made only with natural ingredients that are created by a team of master herbalists. It’s a complete healing and production center featuring therapeutic remedies for everything that ails you. When customers enter the peaceful, comforting and aromatic rooms that make up Leaf & Stem, they will be mesmerized by the feeling of calm that permeates the space. Trevis Smith, a gentle, engaging master herbalist, recommends the various remedies made at Leaf & Stem. He can simply look at an individual, analyze his or her condition and offer suggestions that will help each custimer. Ciarra Orellano oversees a room filled with bath salts and various bottles of oils and soaps to be used externally as remedies for various skin ailments. “The oil use is pretty much self-explanatory,” Orellano said. “You can either burn the oils or use them for aroma therapy purposes. You can smell them and they will wake you up and relax you.” One of the most loyal customers of Leaf & Stem is a devoted fan of lavender. And the way he tells his story makes it seem like a miracle. After a five-borough bike ride with his 10-yearold son, he went home to find that they had both been badly sunburned, with bright red

forearms. Having heard that lavender is an effective healer of skin and is used in humidifiers in hospital rooms with recovering burn victims, he quickly made a paste of aloe vera with a few drops of lavender essential oil. Rubbing the paste onto his forearms as well as those of his son, he was amazed to find that the harsh redness disappeared, literally, the next day. He became a firm believer in essential oils. Halyna Shvets works in the herbal room. “We have herbs here in their natural condition,” Shvets explained. The room also has books about herbal medicines. Leaf & Stem has shelves full of capsules prepared on the premises that help energize the mind and body. For example, Spirulina powder is made into capsules that offer a jolt of energy similar to drinking a cup of coffee. The capsules help remedy conditions such as arthritis and even the common cold. Others can naturally help someone quit smoking, while some capsules can offer relief for gall bladder problems and heart and lung issues. One of the shop’s most requested items is thieves oil — a powerful blend of clove, lemon, cinnamon, eucalyptus radiate and rosemary. The aromatic blend is designed specifically to support a healthy immune system. And if you’re looking for something tasty and soothing, Leaf & Stem offers a large selection of herbal teas. It’s especially nice to know that everything produced at the shop, including its chocolate bath salt, is handmade from 100-percent raw, pure and organic ingredients.

Leaf & Stem is located at 100 Water St.

‘ S om ething W ic ked This W ay C om es’ To East W illiam sbu rg By Lore Croghan Brooklyn Eagle

Shakespeare. In a shipping container. With bursts of Eastern European Roma-style singing and chanting. What’s not to like? Dzieci Theatre is staging “Makbet,” an intense and deeply satisfying version of Shakespeare’s tragedy “Macbeth,” at an East Williamsburg recycling center called Sure We Can. It’s an open-air lot stacked high with shipping containers that are filled with bags of cans and bottles. At the back of the lot, one of the containers is being used as a tiny theatre venue. Before the play begins, the affable cast spends some quality time with audience members. Everybody gathers outdoors around a fire in a trash can for a sing-along and some other bonding activities. Then the actors escort playgoers into the quirky theatre. It’s narrow and partly filled with milk crates that serve as seating for the audience and several cast members. If it were a hairsbreadth smaller, it would be claustrophobia-inducing. The container’s steel walls come in handy when the actors want to create thunderous sound effects. The small space works well in compelling the audience to share very intimately the characters’ suffering and passions. And oh, such passions.

E mb racin g E vil Like it’s a Relig ion “Macbeth” is arguably the darkest of William Shakespeare’s plays. Its protagonist resorts to murder, again and again, to become a king and remain a king. He embraces evil like it’s a religion. And Dzieci Theatre’s founder, Matt Mitler, sticks faithfully to Shakespeare’s original text, with judicious trims, in his adaptation. Mitler also designed this production, and is its director. By the way, the experimental theatre ensemble’s name “dzieci” means “children” in Polish. Five actors — the ones seated on the milk 4 • Brooklyn Eagle • Thursday, September 21, 2017

crates — serve as a chorus. Three other actors play all the principal roles. They know every line of 90-minute “Makbet.” Each one plays a particular role for a few minutes, then takes on a different role. They wear specific items of clothing to indicate who’s who at any given moment — for instance, a black hat when they’re playing Macbeth, a bloodred scarf when they’re playing Lady Macbeth. It’s easy to remember which item denotes which character because the actors explain all this before “Makbet” starts. “If no one is Macbeth for too long, no one leaves here cursed,” one of them says. Mitler, Megan Bones and Yvonne Brechbuhler are the principal actors, a supremely skilled trio. You’ll get chills down your spine when Lady Macbeth calls upon evil spirits to “unsex me here; and fill me from the crown to the toe, top-full of direst cruelty.” Macbeth’s soliloquy that begins, “Is this a dagger which I see before me,” about a hallucinatory weapon for slaying K ing Duncan, is terrifying. A scene in which Macbeth sees the ghost of another murder victim, Banquo, is harrowing. Scenes with the three witches are the stuff of nightmares — which is, of course, exactly what they’re supposed to be. It’s all terrific theatre. In the course of the play’s five-week run, possibly different actors will play these mesmerizing scenes on different days. But it’s a good bet that at every performance, these scenes — and indeed the entire play — will be acted with riveting intensity.
