#HOW TO INSTALL KON BOOT FOR FREE MOVIE#
“You have these well-meaning, art-collecting socialites who consider themselves so ‘woke,’ who just open their home and hearts to a total stranger simply because he claims to go to school with their kids and has a very famous movie star father. “It was interesting to see a play that really takes a jab at the uber rich, white Upper East Side liberal set,” he says.
This will be his adult stage debut, at the age of 57, and we’re happy to have him.”īarnette says he enjoyed the play’s pokes at the supposedly intelligent wealthy elite, largely personified in the script by art dealer Flan Kittredge (played in this production by Paul O’Brien) and his wife Louisa (nicknamed “Ouisa” and played by Carolyn K. “He read great for the roles he was auditioning for, and after I cast him in the role of Geoffrey, he told me he really had no acting experience to speak of other than a couple of church plays as a kid. (who plays Geoffrey, a wealthy acquaintance of the Kittredges) and his wife have been patrons of Footlight and other theaters around town for a few years,” Barnette says. Much like Paul attempts to move from one social class to another, there’s a member of the cast who has moved from behind the scenes of The Footlight Players to the stage for the first time. There’s an interesting, although far less sinister, parallel between Six Degrees of Separation and the company of actors involved in this production. I love to see how a work of theater translates into film and how the story stays the same, even if it is told with a different approach.” It has a very unique way of telling the story in the script, so to see it translated and told in a different medium was one of the first times I was inspired to want to direct. I also worked in a video store when the movie came out, and I played it over and over at the store, watching it while I worked. “It was one of the plays we studied in my Modern American Drama class in college at Ole Miss in the mid-1990s. “I’ve been a longtime fan of this script,” Barnette says. And it’s always been a favorite of Kyle Barnette, a veteran Charleston actor and director who’s helming a production of the play for The Footlight Players at the Queen Street Playhouse. Six Degrees of Separation is a deft, subtle commentary on class, race, and identity that’s both more emotional and funnier than one might expect. That 1993 film was based on a 1990 play by John Guare, a play in which we see Paul largely through the eyes (and stories) of the people he deceived, and that perspective lends a sense of mystery and even a bit of sympathy to Paul’s character, even as he lies to a pair of well-off empty nesters in an attempt to swindle them. Smith played Paul, a skilled young con artist who builds an impressive false identity as a cultured, well-educated student in order to bilk the unsuspecting wealthy elites of New York City out of their money. Most of us probably best remember Six Degrees of Separation as a film, one which featured accomplished actors like Stockard Channing and Donald Sutherland but was most notable for one of Will Smith’s early, star-making performances.
