Different Stages continues its 2018- 2019 season with The Magic Fireby Lillian Groag. The Magic Fire is a wonderfully warm and amusing play about a young woman growing up in a family of European immigrants who surround themselves with a “magic fire” of art to fend off the unpleasant realities of Juan Peron’s Argentina in the years after World War II. Argentinean-American playwright Lillian Groag explores the connections among memory, history, and art through the eyes of a child, revisited from the perspective of adulthood. By turns funny, loving, and politically alarming, The Magic Fire weaves a spell of tango and opera, treasured memories and hidden truths.
