A Fate Worse Than Death: or Adrift on Life's Sea! — StageCenter Theatre
Thu, Aug 5, 2027
Dunstan Weed's wildly funny old-time melodrama, directed by Jennifer Hargis. The fiendish Cassius Carstairs pursues the pure Carlotta Flower while the audience is invited to hiss the villain and cheer the hero. Tongue firmly in cheek, it piles on every surefire melodrama situation for a happy piece of nonsense with laughs tumbling over each other. Performances run August 5–21. Presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
