THEATER REVIEW: Revels and Revelations at Ventfort Hall

Reviewed by Lesley Ann Beck

The enigmatic Belle da Costa Greene, the first director of the great Morgan Library, is the subject of Revels and Revelations, a new, one-woman play performed through September 5 at Ventfort Hall Mansion and Gilded Age Museum. Written and directed by Juliane Hiam, this world premiere is part of the special programming marking Ventfort Hall’s tenth anniversary as a museum.

Ventfort Hall has offered plays every summer since 2002, allowing audiences to meet fascinating women the likes of Fanny Kemble, Annie Kneeland Haggerty Shaw, and O-Yuki Morgan, the geisha who married into the Morgan family, for whom Ventfort Hall was built. Belle da Costa Greene, while she never visited Ventfort Hall, knew several generations of the Morgans through her work for the library, and certainly qualifies as one of the most captivating women to be portrayed at Ventfort.
