Directed by Robert Currier and featuring William Elsman and Alexandra Matthew, the Marin Shakespeare Company is proud to present Travesties, the 1976 Tony Award winner for Best Play. This show is an eclectic recipe of fact and farce spoofing Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, combining Wildean wit with the absurdity and profundity of Dadaist Tristan Tzara, Vladimir Lenin and James Joyce. Tom Stoppard whips up a dazzlingly clever, tasty dish about art and society that is funny, thought provoking and entertaining.
Preview performances take place on July 2, 3 and 4, 2010, with regular performances taking place from July 9 through August 15, 2010. Showtimes are 8pm on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, and 4pm and 5pm on Sundays.
Travesties is part of the professional, award-winning Marin Shakespeare Company's outdoor summer festival. The series consists of three plays presented under the summer stars in its outdoor venue, Dominican University's Forest Meadows Amphitheatre. The MSC summer festival features a variety of special events and discounted ticket options including "Pay What You Will" preview performances.
