Van Der Decken Captures Belasco Style on Stage
Warfield stars as the Flying Dutchman in Belasco’s semimystic Van Der Decken at Belasco Theater. The drama explores reincarnation with a tempest, tender sacrifice, and a final rebirth of soul as Trinta weds the schoolteacher, while Warfield’s performance and an imposing cast deliver striking stage craft and pathos amid some overlong dialogue.
