Private
Lives
by Nöel Coward
Directed by Susan Monaghan
September 18-22 & 25-29, 2012
Noel Coward wrote this smashing play in 1930 for his chum,
legendary stage actress Gertrude Lawrence. But the genius
author/actor crafted a script which is now acknowledged as a
true descendant of Shakespeare’s love comedies, and father to
the screwball and romantic comedies we enjoy today. Amanda and
Elyot, divorced veterans of a tempestuous marriage (to each
other), each arrive in France for a second honeymoon with a new
partner, and clash on the terrace of their hotel. "Ill met by
moonlight" doesn’t begin to describe it.
Mary’s Wedding
by Stephen Massicotte
Directed by Wendy Wagner
November 6-10 & 13-17, 2012
It is the eve of Mary’s wedding, a night filled with dreams:
dreams of love, dreams of war, and dreams of what might be. When
Mary and Charlie find each other sheltering in a barn during a
thunderstorm, a tentative young love is born. But it is 1914 and
the world is headed into the uncertainty and turbulence of war.
A poignant story of innocent first love and the vicissitudes of
fate, this award-winning Canadian play has been produced over 70
times worldwide.
Rabbit Hole
by David Lindsay-Abaire
Directed by Brooke Keneford
February 5-9 & 12-16, 2013
Becca and Howie Corbett are a happily married couple whose
perfect world is forever changed when their young son, Danny, is
killed by a car. Becca finds solace in a mysterious relationship
with Jason, the teenage driver of the car that killed Danny.
Becca’s fixation with Jason pulls her away from memories of
Danny, while Howie immerses himself in the past, seeking refuge
in outsiders who offer him something Becca is unable to give.
The Corbetts, both adrift, make surprising and dangerous choices
as they choose a path that will determine their fate.
Harvey
by Mary Chase
Directed by Peter Williams
March 26-30 & April 2-6, 2013
Elwood P. Dowd is a laid-back, charming, friendly, generous,
and generally cheerful middle-aged man. The only problem? His
best friend is a six foot tall invisible rabbit! Join us in this
classic, warm-hearted 1944 Pulitzer prize-winning comedy, as
relevant today as when it was written, while it tries to deal
with the age-old issue of how much happiness and imagination do
we give up in order to conform to societal expectations.
A Flea in Her Ear
by Georges Feydeau translated by David Ives
Directed by Jim Holmes
May 14-18 & 21-25, 2013
The greatest of all
French farces and perhaps the greatest farce ever written.
Modern English and French bedroom farce was born with this 1907
tale of Madame Chantebise who, suspecting her husband of having
an affair, tries to entrap him by means of an anonymous love
letter suggesting a rendezvous at the disreputable Frisky Puss
Hotel. David Ives’s new adaptation maintains the original’s
dazzling plot while communicating Feydeau’s playful use of
language.
And for the holiday season, we will present:
