Two French comedies focusing on life and love. In STRAIGHT FROM THE CONVENT, a rich old man would like to marry a girl who’s just emerged from the convent. Her mother wants her to cement the union because she has no money--and would like to see her daughter well-established. Needless to say, the girl thinks otherwise, and 'innocently' manages to collect three other suitors! THE INTERRUPTED WEDDING is about an impoverished Count and Countess who are always at odds with each other. They have just one servant, Adrien, who doubles as a valet and femme de chamber. The dirty old Count wants to marry Lucas, a peasant, to Nanette, so he can get at the girl himself. But Lucas demands a dowry, and the nobleman has no money. Then the Countess gets wind of her husband’s real intentions... Two swift-moving and very funny farces that would play well even today! 3

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

  • Fit For A Queen
    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
