The Department of Theatre presents An Evening of Adultery,
two one-act plays by George Bernard Shaw: Overruled
and Passion, Poison & Petrifaction,
on the ironies of infidelity, directed by Colette Searls.
Bored by countless treatments of adultery on the European
stage, Bernard Shaw offered Overruled as his
own "demonstration." What might happen if two
married couples, caught red-handed, try to duke it out
in a proper honest chat? From the opposite site of the
Shavian brain, we present Passion, Poison & Petrifaction
as its wayward companion. A parody of tragic melodrama,
this "tomfoolery" unleashes the romance of love
and vengeance with no such civilized restraint.
Direction: Colette Searls
Set/Costume Design: Elena Zlotescu
Light/Sound Design: Terry Cobb
Vocal/Dialect Coach: Lynn Watson
Fight Choreographer: Paul Gallagher
