“You were my princess, my muse. The reason every Knight needs to get on his horse…” You don’t immediately notice how extraordinary Peter Luisi’s Princess is in the initial minutes of its runtime. Josef (Fabian Kruger) is an alcoholic man carrying out a solitary sentence of his own choosing – his eyes display tremendous sorrow of a terrible past as he spends his days drinking and his hands quiver as he incoherently rambles to assure himself that he’s doing well. Interrupting these string of nights is the arrival of Josef’s half sister Karin, a single mother working tirelessly to provide for her four year old daughter and who comes bearing the news of their mother’s death. With Karin struggling with her finances and nowhere else to turn to, Josef reluctantly agrees to let them move into the same building, maintaining a cautious distance from his new neighbors.
New Jersey Stage published its 25,000th story in December 2021. As the site approached the milestone, we posed the question on social media as how we should celebrate. One response was to highlight our favorite stories from over the years. We liked this idea, but could not narrow things down to just 25 favorites so we will present a favorite each day from different genres. Every Monday we feature one of our favorite stories in music. Our piece this week is a feature on Bobby Bandiera who was taking a look back at his career in advance of a special show he performed in 2016 that featured his original songs and those of artists he’s shared stages with over the last 30 years.
