Woman Before a Glass

Peppered with tidbits about Peggy Guggenheim’s associates—from the favorite artists she patronized, like Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp, to her friend Samuel Beckett, with whom she had a fling—this new one-woman play functions more as celebrity showcase than biography. Played here by Sally Wingert, a dynamo often seen on the Guthrie stage, the twentieth century’s most famous art collector-heiress is depicted as a reckless, vulgar chain-smoker who drinks and sleeps her way around mid-century Paris. 651-647-4315; www.mnjewishtheatre.org
