If you missed Zelda at the Oasis this past March, you have a lucky one-show opportunity to see this engaging and well-received play at the F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre in Rockville, MD. 

Zelda at the Oasis by P.H. Lin, a DC native now based in New York City, presents Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, half the Golden Couple of the Jazz Age, reliving her past and looking to the future. The two person cast features terrific local actors: Mundy  Spears (trained in New York; Company Member of Washington Shakespeare Company; will play Lady Anne in Richard III with WSC this fall)  and Davis Hasty (seen locally at Studio Theater, Adventure Theater, and will appear at Round House Theatre). Spears plays Zelda, the beautiful, brilliant, and sometimes troubled wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. She is the last patron at the Oasis, an after hours bar in New York City, operated by a Barman, played by Hasty. As Zelda pleads for more time before the Barman closes the Oasis, scenes from her past unfold.  Hasty glides into multiple characters – F. Scott Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Zelda’s ballet instructor and her mother among them – as the two learn about each other’s lives.

Lynn  Sharp Spears of Gaithersburg, a well-known theatre professional in the DC area, produces and directs “Zelda.” 

NOTE :The original production by the Venus Theatre Company with the same cast and director  was rated a Top Pick by dctheatrescene.com. The review can be found at http://dctheatrescene.com/2010/03/16/zelda-at-the-oasis-2/
