Theatre on the Ridge looks back at the plays of the early 20th century and finds that comedy, tragedy, social commentary and entertainment abound in this mixed staged reading program.
The performance includes:
The Dear Departed by Stanley Houghton (1910)
A clever comedic dramatization of a famous De Maupassant story about a man who pretended he was dead in order to see what his family thought about him.
Mr. Sampson by Charles Lee (1911)
Two spinster sisters, Caroline and Catherine, live a peaceful life in Cornwall. However, that peace is disturbed when their new neighbour, Mr. Sampson makes a proposition.
The Twelve Pound Look by J. M. Barrie (1914)
“A woman of society, tired of her existence, almost gives it up when she learns from a workingwoman something of the joys of labour.”
Passion, Poison & Petrification by George Bernard Shaw (1905)
A witty spoof of popular Victorian melodramas, written by the preeminent playwright of the English speaking theatre in the early 20th century.
