Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hi, Tonight's free play (sorry for the short notice) is The Learned Ladies of Park Avenue. *A SPARKLING JAZZ AGE COMEDY * Translated and freely adapted from Molière's *Les Femmes savantes * By David Grimm *WEST COAST PREMIERE* *(live dress rehearsal performance)* *November 28 Lucie Stern Theatre <http://www.theatreworks.org/venues.htm>* *tickets <http://www.theatreworks.org/tickets.htm>* *calendar<http://www.theatreworks.org/06_07_Learned-Ladies.htm#LL_calendar> * Amidst the art deco splendor of Cole Porter's New York, Molière's brilliant farce gets a hilarious jolt of champagne wit and jazz age dazzle. When a debonair heartthrob proposes to his high-society sweetie, he soon discovers that Mama has another beau in mind, a gold-digging poet as pompous as he is pedantic. In this enormously clever satire of upper-crust extravagance who knows whether reason, greed, or true love will prevail? ***Get there at around 7:30 to get in. It's a free dress-rehearsal performance at the Lucie Stern Theater on Middlefield Rd. right near Embarcadero Rd. Email or call me if you're going so I can look for you to sit with and/or chat with at intermission. If you haven't seen a good or great play in a long time, you really should go (even if the weather sucks). Mike (408) 313-8814 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
