Our Summer 2012 Season:
Jeeves Intervenes
by Martha Raether.
Based P.G. Wodehouse's beloved comic characters, the befuddled Bertie Wooster and his impossibly clever butler, Jeeves. It's London, 1920's, Bertie and his old school chum, Eustace Bassington-Bassington hatch an ingenious plot to save Bertie from an unwanted marriage, and Eustace from being shipped off to India. Will the all-knowing Jeeves be able to rescue them from themselves?
Heroes
by Gerald Sibleyras. Translated by Tom Stoppard.
The action is set in 1959 on a sun-dappled terrace of an old soldier's home somewhere in France. Here three dotty old soldiers, veterans of World War I, engage in verbal skirmishes, plan counter attacks and dream of impossible escape.
God of Carnage
by Yasmina Reza. Translated by Christopher Hampton.
Veronica and Michael are being oh, so civilized by meeting with the parents of the boy who recently hit their son with a stick. But, what begins as calm mature meeting of four mild-mannered adults somehow devolves into a no holds barred schoolyard brawl, leaving their middle class propriety in tatters.
