SAN FRANCISCO
— The always-inviting live theater scene in San Francisco begins the new decade with plentiful world premieres — some offerings are adaptations of classics, while others are brand-new tales:
Sharon Gless
The co-star of TV’s “Cagney & Lacey” leads the cast of Jane Prowse’s “A Round-Heeled Woman” based on the best-selling memoir by Jane Juska. It’s a world premiere in the reactivated Theater Artaud. Called both funny and heartbreaking, the story is about encounters resulting from a personals ad in the New York Review of Books, soliciting sex and/or conversations about Trollope.
Jan. 5-Feb. 7, $20-$50; Z Space at Theater Artaud, 450 Florida St., S.F., (800) 838-3006, www.zspace.org
